Heck, why not ask governments to stop spending money on arms and use the funds for education and stuff. That would have a bigger effect. I do. The US has spent over 1 trillion dollars in Iraq. I don't know about the people here, but I think that there are about 1 trillion better investments for that money. I live in Canada so I can't speak for Americans, but wouldn't you rather have a better education system or free healthcare? I know I would.
They may have spent alot of money in iraq but wars create alot of money for our economy.

Heck, why not ask governments to stop spending money on arms and use the funds for education and stuff. That would have a bigger effect. If you want those things like cure disease then work hard and you do it. Bill gates worked for his money. Also since you know he spends nothing on disease try researching. The man just in one donation spent 200 million of his own dime to Africa for aids. And has given so much more at other times. He gives more to fight aids then almost another other country. Plus other charities True, if he wants to give it away, it's cool. But don't expect a man to give away money just because he could. That's just lame.

But how many people are going to see that money? Especially considering the low tax rates in the US (at least compared to up here) I think that more people are going to get more out of the US investing 1 trillion into something like healthcare than whatever taxes are gained from those profiting from war. And I'm not even going to touch the whole military industrial complex.[QUOTE="InfamousC"]When you have the power to eliminate things like poverty and disease you are held to a higher standard than the average person.

But so far there hasn't been a ton of progress in Iraq. If it pans out then sure, it was a worthwhile investment but until then I I were an American I'd rather have had that money invested in something more valuable to me, such as healthcare.Please Log In to post.
