Howdy there,
I'm Seth Rubenstein: web developer, designer, and gamer
When you start a war against another country [WWI, WW2]:
to be successful, to make the citizens weary of the “cost of war”, you raise taxes. You invest in your own country. You put people to work. You have a booming economy.When you start a war against your own citizens [1980 Reaganomics]:
a war in the name of corporate greed and grinding trickle down economics, to be successful, you lower taxes. You cut education. You cut social programs. You cut regulations. You end up with a limp economy to be used as a weapon to further lower taxes and a population too weak to fight back.
