The other ironic point is that they shovel billions/trillions into the military-industrial complex with very little of it benefiting them. Eisenhower was right on point - and it's been ignored by politicians on both sides.

My MIL came to me the other day worried about how the Inflation Reduction Act will hurt her. Apparently, somebody on Fox was avowing it would. Please know that my MIL, although comfortably enough off, does not make anywhere near $400K. Her news sources were doing their best to convince her that any tax increases would ultimately harm her.
