    Tell that to weapons manufactures. Literally one of the biggest income sources of the US.

      Which weapons manufacturing company did the governement own again?

      They spend almost 800 BILLION dollars yearly on military. That’s spending - not income.

        Rich people don’t like wars or climate change

        I was disagreeing with this remark. How does my comment has to do anything with the US government?

        So you do agree that almost all of that money (salaries for gov employees are a very small percentage) is income for those private companies? Not spending, income?

          You said it’s one of the biggest income sources of the United States. What is “The United States” if not the government?
