When it comes to war, shouldn’t those who have the most to lose be the ones who fight and die first?
If you’re one of the poorest 50% of Americans, you share 2.5% of the USA’s wealth.
At the same time, the wealthiest 10% of Americans hoard 68.3% of the country’s wealth.
If America is attacked, they have much more to lose. Shouldn’t they be the ones to fight and die first? That’s 34 million soldiers. They’d whip everyone’s ass.
Though perhaps you only need the top 1% to fight. That’s 3.4 million people fighting to protect their 31% share of America’s wealth. Don’t you think they’d be super-motivated to protect all their money?
And if the war’s not even against a near-peer adversary, the top 0.1% could probably handle it on their own. 340,000 super-wealthy people trying to save their 14.5% wealth share. For a total of $25.47 trillion or $75 million each.
Surely they’d all fight like maniacs to defend their indefensible share of America’s wealth?
The poorest Americans have the least to lose. So why do they have to die fighting America’s wars?
