Next time you hear someone complain about social security benefits for seniors so they don't have to eat cat food, or whine that their taxes are being spent so our kids can have a hot lunch, make them watch this 4 minute video about the military industrial complex.

President Eisenhower warned about the military industrial complex. The MIC currently gets 53¢ of every tax dollar & they want more. Talk about entitlement!

Facebook has removed this video from my page twice.
