The entire country does revolve around you. Many disagree, and many would like an economy which is taxed and serves for the good of all. I want to see universal basic income put in place. Everyone would get a guaranteed income.... no matter who you are. Wouldn't you prefer that your kids and your kid's kids to not have to worry about making money to merely survive? With the coming AI industrial changes... with automation and stuff, this is what's going to happen. [/quote] Spending on military and homeland security is a small percentage of tax dollar. Majority is social programs...period. [/quote] Most of the social programs are welfare for Big Business. What do you think would happen to the Healthcare Industry if Medicare was ended? Food stamps was lobbied for by the Grocery and Ag industry. Every time food stamps are cut back, the subsidies get increased to Corporate Farms. [/quote]

There are about 500-600 thousand homeless people in the USA.
All of them could have roofs over their heads with just 2% of the current US military spending budget.
