There is a very good reson for that as noted by buddy larsen.

Right.

Socialize the costs, privatize the profits.

Explain why should the American middle class shoulder all the costs. They certainly don’t share in the benefits. 85% of federal income or $1.4 trillion goes towards military related expenditures so as to keep America addicted to oil. As I said before, those that benefit are largely the fat cat military contractors, the fat cat war profiteers, the fat cat subsidized oil mafia, the fat cat Jihadi mofos, the fat cat Wall Street bankers, and the fat cat global imperialist elite. Why should I be ok with that?
