    How can we afford a $738,000,000,000 military budget while 94% of US teachers are forced to spend their own money on school supplies?

        Taxing the 631 billionaires at a 5% rate would help. That’s only five pennies on the dollar All but @kanyewest will remain billionaires with plenty of additional cash. As for “Ye”? Cry that he might have to live with $998 million. https://twitter.com/public_citizen/status/1276499322344026112?s=21 …https://twitter.com/Public_Citizen/status/1276499322344026112 …

        Purely because most teachers lover their students and the job so much they are willing to sacrifice their own personal wealth (debt) to fo the right thing. Let’s hear stories of the pentagon staff reaching into their own pockets to buy bullets, missiles, and planes.

        The American empire is intertwined with and maintained by the military budget. Recent history has led the powers that be believe that without a strong military and an American empire, chaos would prevail and are not about to test that theory.
