Military-Industrial Mafia


Goodfellas "Funny Guy" Scene
tknick90

There was a short story embedded in movie about gangsters, Goodfellas maybe. Several of the guys liked to hang out at this Tiki bar but they would never pay their bar tab. The owner was at his wits end. These guys were his best customers, but they were driving his business into the ground. In desperation he offers to make them partners in his bar. I suppose he was thinking that if they had a stake in the bar, they would want to ensure that it remained a viable business. Problem was, they didn't pay for that stake. They took him up on his offer and then proceeded to really run the place into the ground. They were taking deliveries of cases of booze and then selling it out the back door at discounted prices. They weren't paying the bills, but they were pocketing the cash from these sales. I don't think the business lasted more than a couple of months.

This is exactly what the US Congress is doing to our country.

No No, patriot citizens will see that multi-zillion dollar debt and want to pay more taxes to pay down that debt so their children and grandchildren aren't saddled with it.
People might even send in extra cash laying around in addition to taxes.

...if it didn't involve money or sex.
