War is never economically beneficial except for those in position to profit from war expenditures.

Our federal government, which was intended to operate as a very limited constitutional republic, has instead become a virtually socialist leviathan that redistributes trillions of dollars. We can hardly be surprised when countless special interests fight for the money.

It's a mistake to think that poor people get the benefit from the welfare system. It's a total fraud. Most welfare go to the rich of this country: the military-industrial complex, the bankers, the foreign dictators, it's totally out of control...

All they can do is steal from one group and give it to another at the destruction of the principles of freedom, and we ought to challenge that concept.
