That's what you say - obviously, they disagree with the extent and the nature of military spending. But you keep on threatening them anyway. Well, who are you?
Well, I'll tell you what you're not. You're not special. You're not a martyr. And you're not oppressed. Everybody pays for things they don't like, and everybody has the same two remedies - vote at the ballot box, or vote with your feet.
It becomes oppression when people are taxed for unnecessary projects from which they receive no benefit.
And of course, is we don't implement your personal definitions of "unnecessary" and "benefit", you're being oppressed, because in fact you getting anything less than 100% of what you want is itself a form of oppression. I have an eleven year old who thinks exactly the same way, so you'll excuse me if I don't waste too much time on this.
