SHOULD IT BE LEGAL FOR OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS OR THEIR FAMILIES TO INVE$T IN THE DEFEN$E INDUSTRY?

Should those who have been determining either we go to fight be means to have investment increase off which war?

I contend NO. What do we think?

It’s already legal.

Give $$$ to Toys for Tots.

It’s a great investment in America’s children, and it’s the only charitable organization run by the Department of Defense. (The CEO is the Commandant of the Marine Corps.)

One way or another as long as war is supplied by private companies, there will be people in the government profiting off of it, and being influenced by that profit.
It is in the nature of capitalism for everything to be influenced by how much money is made, including death.

I agree with you. It’s similar to inside trading — it should be illegal. It tempts our politicians to send us to war without good reason.

I think the only way to prevent this is voter imposed term limits.

2 terms and then you are out.

It would prevent this kind of corruption.
