Weird that all you Socialists don't like Military spending. I mean it's the same as welfare, except people earn it instead of just giving it away.

Almost all Military spending is spent in the US, and they do a good job of spreading it around by state.

The top 1% of the country pays 50% of the taxes, and most people in the military are blue collar. So, it's economic redistribution, but you have to work for it.

I guess you guys are against the "work for it" part.

 I'm not at all against military spending nor am I a socialist. My point was that I don't see why people complain about other programs that go to University Research, Art Galleries and Infrastructure. If I was arguing that we should be spending more on Welfare then I guess the "work for it" part would be valid.
