The government would just put that money into defense spending.

What a weird defeatist thought. We're already in lala-land with 5% tax added, albeit measly, on the ruling class. So, why not lala all the way to a positive use of it?

Maybe, but the people of the country are not the priority. If we were the priority, Republicans wouldn't constantly try to defund social programs like social security and welfare. The people would have more to help them, corporations would be taxed more and the people (namely the middle and lower classes) would be taxed less. The country doesn't serve us, like it should. The country serves the corporations and military.
