According to General Butler - 21,000 Millionaires were made in the USA during WWI.
$ 16, 000,000,000 (Yep, BILLIONS) of Profits were made off of WWI in America - off
of the BLOOD of it's Citizens . . .
And It seems to have ALWAYS been this way :
“There is such a thirst for
gain [among military suppliers]…that it is enough to make one curse their own Species,
for possessing so little virtue and patriotism.” - President
George Washington, 1778
"War Profiteering is TREASON." - Senator Harry S. Truman - (the EXACT
Quote is in doubt - but, there is little doubt that Truman BELIEVED this)
