9. For Decades!!!!!!

This distortion of the use of our tax dollars has been going on for decades since the War on Vietnam. President Johnson chose guns over butter and the War on Poverty ended while our money went down the endless sewer at the Pentagon. Next came the Wars on Iraq, Syria,Libya and elsewhere. Meanwhile back at home we lack health care, infrastructure, support for community and the arts and every wonderful thing. War, it's why we can't have nice things.
This will continue until the American people wake up and demand that they directly benefit from our communal tax dollars. No taxation without representation!
