... and thus, US tax payers money.
Funnelling tax payer money away from things like social services, infrastructure, healthcare, and education which it's meant for and into the pockets of the oligarchs who own the military industry is the whole point.
No no you don't get it. It's about free market. Any one can become oligarch in US. It's a free democratic country. It's upto to the people to compete and become an oligarch. No one is stopping them from becoming oligarchs. It's free market after all. If some oligarch can profit from war then other people also have that option to become that oligarch. After all every thing is about profit in amerikan dream.
That is what, being a liberal, I used to think about war profit and bourgeois nationalism.
** For the people to get an Idea of how a Liberal Brain works after consuming so much bourgeois media.
