All these “War on” political grandstanding does is kill a lot of people, increase a lot of taxes and inflate the poor into destitution.

War on Drugs. War on Terror. War on Cancer.

Same pig but different shades of lipstick.

US govt has become unbelievably bloated and overreaches every aspect of life today.

Slogans like these help them keep expanding and hurting the people.

Edit: you've unfortunately been posting a ton like this (unsubstantive flamebait and name-calling). Please don't! We're trying for a different sort of forum.
