And the money spent on oil wars is done purely for ultra-wealthy interests who then dodge taxes and do everything possible to hide their money overseas and outsource jobs.

So working people here get to go hungry so they can pay for the equipment their children will need to protect the investments of the prick who fired them last year.

Nice system, if you're a rich prick.
