to do with the budget. it's a totally separate system from revenue stream to payouts. If the military can waste $8 TRILLION they need to look somewhere else to find the dollars, like maybe cutting waste in the military. Or maybe raising taxes on the ruling class. Why go after a system that's not even part of the problem?

There's your counter-meme.
