Americans pay tax for US war plans: Analyst
The US government spends taxes paid by Americans on the accumulation of weapons for waging wars across the globe, an analyst writes for Press TV.
“They (the Americans)…know that their national economy has been hijacked and over-exploited to the point of no return due to massive investment in the bottomless pit of military spending,” Tim King wrote in an article for the Press TV website.
Saying that “taxpayer contributions” are massively utilized for production of “weapons of war,” he added, “This is the reality of the modern American military and electing an African-American president from the Democratic Party has had almost no positive impact on the deteriorating national landscape.”
The political commentator stated that the United States levies taxes on people in order to aid the Israeli regime and countries committing “crimes against humanity.”
“In fact the US embraces countries that routinely abuse people over gender, religion, culture and sexual orientation, like Saudi Arabia,” the analyst wrote.
He said the US government’s wars abroad have taken a “terrible toll” on “human health.”
King referred to the use of depleted uranium in Palestine, Iraq and Afghanistan to kill and deform people, saying, “Add to that the fact that one out of every ten Americans lives within 10 miles of a contaminated military base, and veterans all over the nation are dying of cancer from toxic military base contamination, and you begin to see the non-winnable pattern that is at hand.”
Under the pretext of fighting terrorism, the United States invaded Afghanistan in 2001 and attacked Iraq two years later.
