In America, the top 1 percent led the country into war and economic devastation, leaving the less fortunate to fight for one and pay for both.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Most of the time in America, we're surrounded by oppressive inequality such that the wealthiest 1 percent collectively own substantially more than the bottom 90 percent. One escape from that is America's wild places.
As often happens during a war, some parts of the country prospered, notwithstanding the constant loss.
I'm really sick of the 'one percent' that is taking all the money from this country, draining the middle class, making it nonexistent.
If you look at casualties, you find countries that had much higher loss rates per capita than the US. Denmark comes to mind, the United Kingdom, they have suffered heavy losses at various points, the Germans as well.
When rich people fight wars with one another, poor people are the ones to die.
The drug war has been a war where the direct casualties have primarily been America's poor; America's minorities; and often, unfortunately, America's vulnerable, in terms of people with disease and addiction and mental health.
In times of war, it is often best to look to our history to see how past generations of Americans dealt with the loss of their countrymen in just causes.
The poor pay more, and that's one of the reasons people get trapped at the bottom of the economic ladder.
I tried to contribute to the defeat of the Soviets. If I contributed 1%, it is 1% of something enormous.
No matter what political reasons are given for war, the underlying reason is always economic.
