The Peace Dividend: the Most Controversial Proposal in the History of the World John Rachel

With the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1992, American citizens were promised a ""peace dividend"", i.e. less money for war, more for peace and a good life for all. The U. S. military under misguided leadership has attacked eight countries since then. The defense budget has exploded, buying a lot of junk that doesn't work and military hardware we don't need. This is not pocket change. The fraudulent wars and waste by the military amounts to no less than $4.82 trillion! This is money U. S. citizens paid as taxes in good faith, trusting their leaders were telling them the truth. They weren't. They lied to us! The $4.82 trillion was taken under fraudulent terms, and squandered. Our ""peace dividend"" is now due and payable. This equates to $14,952 for each and every living U. S. citizen. A family of four will get a refund of over $59,800. This short book explains how we can get our money back and put America back on a path of peace and prosperity for future generations.
