So I posted this witty response in an earlier thread and was completely ignored which my fragile ego just can't take so I am reposting it in hopes that someone validates my existence. Sad I know, what can I say.
Just a quick lesson in Neocon economics:
I have $10,000 in capital, but I don't want to invest it in a grocery store, because there is no demand. The Neocon govt taxes me $5,000 to give to the military industrial complex to create massive profits for the stockholders. Meanwhile the Neocon govt buys $10,000 worth of military equipment so the govt must borrow money to pay the bill. The Federal Reserve helps the Neocons out by creating money out of thin air and demands $1000 of interest. Now I can invest my remaining $5,000 in a grocery store... and it then cascades down to the employees that are taxed to support the military industrial complex. So the economy was grown by $5000 and everyone makes money except the taxpayers.
