Veteran benefits are not part of that 640 billion. They have a separate 177 billion dollars for funding.

The government spends far more welfare money on the military than it does on the nation's poorest. It's a travesty especially since giving the nation's poorest money to spend back into the economy is one of the easiest way's to boost everyone upwards. Whereas giving Lockheed Martin and Boeing more military contracts just ends up with most of that money in tax havens.  And money that is being parked in tax havens does jack shit for the American economy.

There are 2 Trillion dollars in tax havens right now.  That's the problem. There's no enforcement of tax evasion law since tax evasion has become legal for only the super rich.

We have tax havens because we over tax. No on should have to pay more than 15% of their money in taxes. It's ridiculous that we have people paying 30-40%+ in taxes, plus sales taxes, etc. 

Why do you think noone should have to pay more than 15% of their money in taxes? Are you not aware of America's Golden Years, the highest points of economic growth, were where the wealthiest Americans were paying far more than 30-40%?

Are you a temporarily embarrassed millionaire? Do you think that someday you'll win the Lotto and then you don't want to pay high taxes on all that money?

It will never stop shocking me that people care more about the handful of wealthiest Americans who have more money than they know what to do with than they do about the nation's weakest, poorest, and sickest. And then my shock only grows more as these people profess to follow Christ's teachings who taught above anything else to look after the poor, the sick, and the weak.

What is it that causes your callous lack of empathy to millions of malnourished children living in the streets? Instead you worry, "Oh shit, this wealthy guy has to pay more than 15%". You are a terrible, terrible person.
