12. But we don't even need to raise taxes. Although I would be

As pleased as punch if the Upper One percent started paying their fair share, what is really happening is this:

We don't really need to increase taxes at all.

Why not? Because there is a huge Peace Dividend just sitting around waiting to be tapped into. We no longer are fighting the War on the People of Iraq. Our forces in Afghanistan are being scaled back.

So there is all this lovely money just sitting inside the Government's Federal Budget. (DoD and Defense and Surveillance Spending is now 1.2 trillions, and then there are the matters that are black op budgeted, and that only Her Holiness Di Feinstein, her husband and a few others know about.) One point two trillion bucks is a lot of bucks.

So if half the military budget could be taken from Defense and Surveillance and given to the real needs of our communities, things would be great.

Except, Wait for It -we need to modernize our military. I mean: our nation right now being a bigger spender on defense items than the next 26 nations combined is just not good enough, is it? . We have to spend and spend and spend.

90% of the Counties in California now have MRAP's. These vehicles cost over $ 350,000 a piece. Our schools are in shambles, our roadways a joke, local community godsends such as public swimming pools are closing due to no County official having $ 15,000 for pool repairs, but hey! each county has an MRAP! With the County officials announcing to the public that they accepted the MRAP's because Wait for it - the vehicles are free. (Only a moron thinks something offered by the government is free.)

Additionally we will never see much advantage in having a Peace Dividend because what is not being spent for insane purposes by our Military and DOD, is being spent on Surveillance. Why there could be a terrorist out there somewhere!
