But there's more! How much does it cost the government and taxpayers to 'maintain' service-connected disabled Veterans for the rest of their lives?
Not that their entitlement isn't legitimate after having been sent in harm's way. Someone is making a TON of profit on government contracts and weapons of war. They sell to ANYONE. This keeps the war machine well oiled. And then we 'patriotic' dupes sent our kids to the military and have them photographed, all serious and tough-looking, at their graduations, berets fashionably hanging over one eye. Speaking to oneself after the rpg has done its damage and the also-fashionable tattoos are mutilated, how tough do I look now? Oh, here's an altruistic VA employee and some volunteers with little arts and crafts kits, all for FREE, so that I have something to do with my fingers and hands (if I have any left) as the government pays to keep me functioning THE REST OF MY LIFE, thank you taxpayers. Oh, wait! My claim is still pending. A foreign-born doctor hired by the VA doesn't believe in PTSD, either, so, during the ratings interview, has me out of there in less than five minutes, reporting that I showed "HALF A SMILE," which translated, means I"M CURED and ready for FULL-EMPLOYMENT! Miracle of Miracles! The government is NOW off the hook! But where are the jobs?
Some people, some people fortunate enough to have educations, get government jobs and government contracts, making missiles, etc., and the rest of the population can bloody well go to hell says our very happy lobbyists and corporate flim-flam artists. On this coming Thanksgiving WEEK, let's give thanks for something or other. Oh, yeah. The ability to FREELY travel to a supermarket and buy food that more and more tastes like it's made from the same materials used for packaging it. But the stores are nice enough to market these products at 'ten for $....,' completely ignoring those people who don't NEED to buy items in WAREHOUSE-SIZED proportions.
Life in America is great. We can go ANYWHERE we want, anytime we want, buddy, can you spare a dime? Happy Fucking Thanksgiving, Suckers!
Unless there's a violent revolution, nothing will change. We missed our chance. Deal with it.
"Deal with it?" The air must be pretty rare on that pedestal. Deal with it? kma
Unless there's a violent revolution, nothing will change. We missed our chance. Deal with it.
What chance was that? Are you talking about the last election, because if you are, I'd say we never had a chance...
