On crony capitalism and defence.

‘Break up the RAF and stop buying British
So that’s it then: Britain’s just a third-class power. And yet our defence budget is the fifth biggest in the world. It’s around the same as that of France, and France has a proper aircraft carrier – complete with planes. France also has hundreds of operational strike jets, not scores; it has maritime-patrol planes; its army may soon have twice as many soldiers as ours.
Why don’t we have all that?
The answer is, mostly, the British defence industry….’

Britain is a province ib the European Union – Washington is a state in the U.S. Federal Union – such places don’t merit much in the way of armies, navies and air forces…

The Empire has defense taken care of…so relax.

In a place where We The People are slaves of the SState capitalism doesn’t exist.

Hi RobertV, you might not be aware of this, but a highly graduated income tax is from the 2nd plank of the communist manifesto. It is a marxist/communist idea.
