Sorry, I've explained why a bunch of times. But I'm going to do it again. The two largest expenses in the U.S. budget are SS and the military. The rich benefit more off of the military than the poor. Yes both benefit from both, but the rich substantially benefit more off of the military. Also, I disagree with Obama on removing the S.S. cap, I do not think that it is fair and is just a way to sneak an unfair tax on to the rich. If they are going to raise their taxes, they need to have the balls to do it in an open manner, so the voters can clearly understand the implications. (In other words a gut check for the voters, because most Americans rich and poor do not want the graduated system to get out of hand. Americans have this thing for fairness.) |
How do the rich benfit more from the military again? I never quite followed that.
Is it just.... "the rich have more to lose!" or something?
