There should be No "If's""And's" or "But's" about it, especially as to the previous decade rhetoric of empty words of 'Support' with cheap symbols and flag waving while yelling USA, USA, USA....on who is the most Patriotic and especially coming from the lapel flag pin wearer's that call themselves the representative's of the people and are hired to do so!
Since my four years of service and last in Vietnam every time I've heard 'tax cuts' my first thought was the consistent underfunding of the Veterans Administration, it's also my first thought when the drums of war hit that first beat and grow louder as the greater majority walk lockstep with the many reasons given for sending our Military into invasions and, knowing it's coming, long occupations with what will follow as they return home.
Especially this past decade and counting of which the wealthy who reap directly or through their investments in the blood booty from our waging of wars and got huge tax cuts, while not investing in economic growth here as to their free market capitalism, and many are seeking even less of the percentages they should be paying then they are now as their wealth grows more outrageous while the rest pay through their labor.
It's much more then just about the homeless veterans and it covers every area of this country.
In the mean time actual caring people in small groups or non profits fight for donations so they can do something about what the whole country should have been doing all along and over these many decades, after they cheer on these wars of choice! And those cheering are calling out the rest who are not, especially us veterans who know what's coming for the decades after, as not as patriotic as them because we don't walk in lockstep with them nor the policies they fully support!
