Because wars are fought for poor peoples interest, right? Oh, and all those bank bail outs, 2-3% of home owners who borrowed too much it's their fault and the other 97%'s fault the banks went under. Oh,disregard that most of the foreclosures were mostly speculators and house flippers, they're probably going to get a bail out to because they were bought under a company name.
$1.1 Trillion on bailouts so far, has nothing to do with the people who make interest or profits off of banks (capital gains).
So far we have 1/3 of the national budget (defense) and all the bail outs going to the people 1% of the population.
If you think of medicare, retirement and unemployment as guarantees companies don't have to offer as incentives to come work for them, a portion of those programs would have to be counted too.
The point? The rich have more to gain from a stable country, and pay more taxes because of that.
"All the poor people should have everything handed to them" (Communism)
"All the rich people do all the work" (Corporatism)
or "Everybody for themselves" (Libertarianism)
The world is not that simple.
I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
