2. This is what happens
when Corporations are let of the hook for paying for their own protection rackets overseas.

The rich will always have a voice in tax allocation, the wage earners never will.

For 130 years they had to pay for the military to secure their predatory practices, and not wanting to pay more kept them in check, somewhat.

Now we pay for it and they can not only push for outlandish spending to secure the raw materials for their profits, they can also partake in higher profits from carrying out these endeavors.

Trillions in debt.

Social Security reserves for the baby boomers spent.

No real social programs supplied by the Feds.

What are we actually getting for that 25% of our income?

Time for the Corporate entities to pay the bill for the privilege of access to our labor and markets.
