Yes – I mean it.  Let’s take the profit out of war.

I believe that making war pay is the worst policy we have ever adopted.

Instead, war should cost more than lives- it should hurt people’s pocket book – especially the wealthy.

Infrastructure investment #1 – Le’ts Re-patriotize all weaponry and soldiering and military roles for offense or defense and the research that goes along with it.

If you are building weapons for the government, you must do so with government employees

If you are relying on people to fight wars or hold military roles, they nust be government employees

If you sell any weapons to any other country, you add a 30% margin that is contributed directly to funding for military and veteran health care

If you are conducting research for new military options – defense or offense, you must do so with government employees. And if you invent anything as a result of this action, the patents are issued to an entity that is not-for-profit and that has all revenue go toward funding disaster relief.

When not at war, government workers who are trained to hold roles required by the military are available to support other infrastructure projects – especially those that build out interstate capabilities.

Because our defense is based on our ability to effective, safely and rapidly communicate to all citizens, the government workers who provide military support will also build out broadband for all and deed the management of this to United States Post Office to enable secure trustworthy digital identities. Theft of your government ID is a federal crime and holds harsh penalties both criminal and financial. Funds earned from prosecuting identity theft of government IDs are used to help fund the infrastructure and services that support them.

All cyber security defense and offense is done by government employees. Again, any inventions that come from these activities are owned by a not-for–profit entity that is committed to allocate all fees earned to pay for additoinal research.
