Answer 5

Let's get this straight. It is NOT America as a country that benefits the most, it is the corporations who have the defense contracts. But corporate America is not passing on the good things to the middle class workers, just to the fat cat administrators and executives who are lining their pockets and sending their kids to private schools and buying private jets so they don't have to rub elbows with the riff raff. In the meantime, our deficit increases every day and the burden of paying that back will rest on the backs of the middle class. Sound fair to you??

Those gains were well worth the sacrifices we've made.
