easy enough, at least for me, to understand.

Nearly a trillion dollars for the DOD, 5 trillion in tax cuts for the top 2%, 'cause Alice Waters needs another fucking martini made from a platinum shaker poured into a gold martini glass.

People that are already on the edge will fall into the abyss and be lost, they won't be lost in the system because the system will be gone. God help us all.

wealthy, the about 2% of Americans want clean air, clean water and nice parks?

Even the wealthy want all Americans to be basically healthy, happy and don't want forever wars?
