The splendor of vertical integration, eh?Quote from monty21:
War is a business...
The Bush administration wants us there as long as possible because it means big profits for defense contractors...
We pay taxes... These tax dollars go directly to companies such as Halliburton. The army blows up a bridge in Iraq, and then tax money goes to Halliburton to rebuild that bridge. Halliburton also provides many other services besides rebuilding infrastructure and setting up a base for the military. It provides the soldiers food and even washes their clothes.
Halliburton is just one of many companies like it. It is obviously the biggest. But there are also the companies that build the weapons themselves. War obviously provides them with huge profits.
So in our world, war is good for the elites because they are generally heavily invested in defense military compounds. America is so powerful, that losing wars in places like Vietnam and Iraq isn't important, because we don't lose are overall power. The goal is to make these wars last as long as possible to make sure that these companies are heavily profitable.
The only way to pay for these things is by taxes. Basically, our tax dollars are going directly to corporations. The Iraq war is the "middleman" in a way. People are manipulated into thinking that the war was necessary and seemingly justifies why Halliburton steals their money.
