But the tax payer are paying the military bill and not get the rewards of war or have you not noticed the price of gas going up.

Saddly for the US, war is not as profitable as it was when pillaging hordes were going at war for profits. Missiles and fuel cost a lot more than sword and buckler.

At this point in time we need some defense spending, but there is no country in the world that can compete technology wise with the US military.

You're the naive one. BAE is world's biggest defense contractor. Guess where Halliburton is located now? Most of QE2 went to Euro banks. AIG spent bailout money buying Chinese banks. And it's not like rich Americans spend in their own country, anyway. They blow it on German cars, Italian clothes, French wines and handbags, first class Middle East flights, etc...

Yeah well BAE and Halliburton are not known for paying much in the way of taxes but they sure as hell are good at spending it.
Maybe you can point us to a copy of audfted accounts that show these companies are paying $2,5bn a year in taxes between them and never mide the $2.5bn spent on zionist wars every single day of the year.
I'm waiting
