And making comparison between something necessary for the country to function (income tax) to something that is a waste of resources (the MIC) is ridiculous.
I don't think it's that ridiculous. In order for any country state to exist and maintain power, they need some sort of military force to defend what they claim is their border.
Also, the state of Israel has been attacking and terrorizing Palestinians since it's introduction post WW2. And just like the USA, it only exists because it had/has a powerful military.
Yea, the military should be as small as possible while maintaing national security. US MIC is more about transferring public wealth (and resources) to the top 1% and less about protecting US borders or even US interests abroad.
Tax is requirement for any state, building weapons for MIC profits to be sent to some "foreign" (whether Israel can even be considered foreign to the US idk) country isn't.
If US wants to claim its "aid" to Israel is for US national interests and not MIC interests, then it must get rid of the private sector from the defense industry. It doesn't mean US wouldn't support Israel's genocide, just that MIC won't profit.
Crazy how defending our borders involves demolishing countries in every corner of the globe. It's almost as if there's an ulterior motive that has nothing to do with protecting our citizens.

That and genocide of course.
