Oh, I know what the US does to maintain and obtain global dominance. Yes, wars cost them an arm and a leg, but taxes don't come anywhere close to covering the US' annual expenditures so they "mark up the account" to create money. It used to be they only taxed us when we made over a certain amount, but now they're taxing everyone. I just don't understand what insane justification they have for taxing non-Americans. If they're so worried about money, they might have to start asking their bosses (the billionaires). State governments are different, but the federal government can f off. It's just baffling they're taking taxes from you.
