LOL - rush... yeah. Hey, why not alex jones, hmm?
Anyway...

/ˈäləˌɡärkē
noun
a small group of people having control of a country, organization, or institution.
"the ruling oligarchy of military men around the president"
Change the word "military" "corporate" and there you have it.
That we reward corporations after they contribute to the country instead of before.
Reward.....? Reward for what? For life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness? Oh, that's right, the "you didn't build this" communistic, socialist philosophy. Corporations are made up of people which is what this nation is, people. Not "WE" as in government.
LOL - once again, throwing out that whole "you didn't build" it nonsense. You know mark, there was a time when corporations had a conscience. They gave back without having to get massive tax breaks. Tell me, what the hell is wrong with that?
That we fund our political campaigns with public money
You mean give money only to those with speech approved by the government. No thanks you commie rat.
No, you obviously don't get it. But then, you probably like the 24/7 campaign commercials, pop ups and radio ads 6 months prior to an election, huh? Yeah, let's spend a billion on a presidential campaign and then get the likes of trump and hillary at the ballot...
Real swift of you mark.
That we use our tax money wisely and not spend more than the next 10 countries put together, on our military.
More than one nation and millions would be dead and gone if it were not for the US. Someone's gotta carry the big stick. I'd rather it was us.
Yeah, and even with all that spending, we've lost 6 times in the last 50 years...
Let's buy a $150 coffee cup and hire a civilian agency to do the same exact work that a recruit can do at only quadruple the price!
Go money!!!
