Humanism Has Nothing To do with Capitalism

"Most of our country's serious problems can be laid at the feet of Congress and the White House and not at capitalism." Walter E. Williams ... Wow Walter, Humanism never played any part, great or small, in setting up Congress or the White House in America. . . That was neatly done by the power, wealth, and glory of the capitalists in order to get capitalism grow more in power, more in wealth, and more in glory not only locally, but also, especially, globally. . . Abraham Lincoln was assassinated by the capitalists because he viewed the capitalist as scoundrels and secondary to workers, even if he viewed capitalism favorably. The Military-Industrial-University complex of the USA today maintains and supports the existence of more than 700 military bases in foreign countries in order to defend and protect Capitalism in America and those of its allies ub such foreign countries. . . Washington - The Pentagon estimates that each year it spends $22.1 billion to maintain its bases and troops around the world. However, the actual costs even on conservative estimates is about $170 billion annually. The totals could be even higher. Estimates of maintaining U.S. bases abroad since the start of the war on terror in 2001 range from $1.8 trillion to $2.1 trillion... The Pentagon must each year produce an "Overseas Cost Summary" that calculates the total price on overseas military activities. This includes costs of construction, repairs and maintenance. There are about one million U.S. military and Defence Department personnel and families abroad. This calculation for the 2012 fiscal year ending September 30 documented $22.1 billion in spending. But that is only part of the story - the tip of the iceberg. . . Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#
