I disagree, Ayn, and do i see you perceive no value in the smoothing dynamism that such a large, stabilizing body provides your prescious private sectors?

as I made no comment on the value of our military I won’t let your imagination fabricate an argument.

And as if anyone is overtaxed these days. Laughable, even before Trump's TCJA.

Silesian is totally correct. Do you know about NSC-68? That "secret" memo from 1950 declared that at least 15 percent of the annual U.S. budget be allocated to the military. Read the memoirs of George F. Kennan, whose ideas influenced the origin of the Cold War or Dean Acheson, who was secretary of state when NSC-68 was issued. The MIC controls our government and determines our foreign policy. Jimmy Carter tried to domesticate the economy and put less emphasis on the military and CIA, and you see what happened to him. Back to business as usual with Reagan and high military spending and lots of covert CIA operations.

The MIC creates billions of jobs directly and tens of billions more indirectly. How many jobs did you create while they are out literally keeping the world fed, assface?

Go take a dump in your massive, disgusting toilet that's infected with the death of millions of innocent people. Oh, I should add the MIC of the U.S. is responsible for the deaths of, by some estimates, as many as 30 million people, the majority who were non combatants.

You made a typical Randian misallocation statement without accounting for any indirect benefits. To a Randian, we might as well get rid of all programs like social security and unemployment benefits because they are first, foremost, and forever a wasted misallocation tax, and to hell with all the indirect benefit provided to the taxpayer. Ut either does not exist to them, or they aren't capable of expanding their view beyond the initial tax.

These programs create a whole lot of smoothing dynamism. They're stabilizers. But in the view you gave us they are nothing more than a tax burden that leads to misallocation.

Thanks for sharing. Your pseudo-intellectual BS is amusing

Ayn Rand was a blooming idiot. I read some of her in my early years; sure, self-interest is what motivates all of us, all of our base instincts, but it's the mature person who can see beyond that. To make a basketball comparison, it's like the chucker who only thinks about his own numbers and doesn't care whether the team wins or loses. But as the chucker realizes that if his team is going to win, he needs to put his team before his numbers. Same thing with the dumb Ayn Rand BS.

I think the misallocation is to programs that create weapons of war, especially wars which for the most part have been instigated by the U.S. for the purpose of feeding the MIC. And there's plenty of historical evidence to support that. I posted a link to an article that touched on this that I wrote about four years or so ago. It's probably more radical than most of the posters here, but then I don't pretend to be conservative.
