We won the war. Winning the peace and building nations is vastly more difficult.

You're sounding like LaRouche. In the traditional American Millitary that FDR, McArthur, and Eisenhower represented, winning the war IS Winning the peace . There was NO OTHER WAY to win the war. Our current "Nazi Waffen SS" mercenary army is incredibally overstreached, and cannot 'win the peace' like this.

That's why you need to get a second job and make more money so they get mroe taxes from you

Tehre are numerous reasons for that. The top 20% makes more money than the bottom 80% in this country. Our unregulated economy, and distruction of Americas productive capabilities, to move to a paracitical looting nation has played greatly in having 3 part time jobs and still not able to make ends meet.
