The pastor failed to mention that our annual bloated DOD budget of 460 billion dollars (that's 460,000 million dollars) is pissed away on 800 military bases around the world and 100's of military tooling projects designed to maime and kill. I was around for the Vietnam War which proved and accomplished absolutely nothing other than the deaths of 55,000+ kids who were drafted into another corporate war for profit. When are the American people going to wake up and stop corporate America from gobbling up all their hard earned tax money. When are the people going to inform themselves and speak up against the war mongers that populate the halls of Congress. Our tax money should be expended on health care for all, educational oportunities for the less fortunate, and government projects that benefit the vary people that finance them with their tax dollars. For eight years from 2000-2008, the party in power abused their rights and allowed the invisible hand of Adam Smith destroy the American financial system as we know it. Greed, power, and war were the choice of the day. Finally we have someone in office that has the interest of the taxpayer in mind. We have returned from the edge of total financial disaster and we are finally moving in the right direction. Americans, read and educate yourself and stand up for what is rightfully yours. The time is now!
