Red White and Screw U

The Peace & Love Generation
Got whacked for their motivation
Now they know the score
There's money in war
That's why we're the richest nation!

Ilene Bauer Date: 8/7/2022 1:19:00 PM Yeah, all those black armbands and protest marches didn’t amount to anything changing, Rico!

Susan Woodrow Date: 8/7/2022 11:31:00 AM So true…sell the destruction then sell the re-building pieces…like your title :) Login to Reply Rico Leffanta Date: 8/9/2022 10:30:00 AM I changed the title after GOP Senators again ignored their constituents to vote what is best for the GOP. Billionaires do not pay taxes under the GOP, but the Inflation Reduction Act requires a minimum tax of 15% - about what the average waitress pays! Aloha!

There is a tremendous amount of money in killing... Rico Leffanta Date: 8/7/2022 11:50:00 AM President Biden proudly announced his visit to the Middle East won the $3-billion sale of Patriot Missiles, and $2.2-billion sale of High-Altitude Missile Defense, to Saudi Arabia, which will wisely be distributed to promote peace in the Middle East (Valsa need wonder no more why people in the Middle East bang their head against the wall!).
