1. Poor are screwed by allocation of the cost of government./war

First- The GOP's Pay for use is a good idea - if possible to do fairly and effectively and cheaply as to collection. But war/"defense" tends to be an idea of the rich and corporate - who have assets to protect and aquire - but who then sell it as a patriotic cost (the world war one idea that poor/middle class should not pay and one should only raised the taxes of the rich because the poor/middle class paid in blood a great deal more per capita than the rich - is dead these days). Compare to the working poor 100 years ago, our current working poor are treated more unfairly.

The social stability cost of not having the poor dying in the street seems to be short changed during a war - forcing poor folks into the military.
