My finance professor says that we need the war because it creates jobs

[QUOTE="MoonMarvel"][QUOTE="duxup"] Depends on what loopholes you close and how / where the taxes get paid. Some of the largest companies in this nation pay 0 dollars in taxes. Too high taxes is an issue, but none is also an issue.duxup

[QUOTE="hokies1313"]Oh, and we should give bonuses to foreign companies that create jobs in the United States, such as asian car companies that have planets in the U.S. We need to encourage that.Sajo7

[QUOTE="duxup"][QUOTE="MoonMarvel"] Any loophole the allows them to pay less then the rate. If the rate is 40% under Obama thats what they pay. And I believe it's a tax rate on their revenue....I am sure they pay taxes even in the red.MoonMarvel

It created a billion dollar mercenary/"private war" (or "soldiers for hire") industry, not to mention the fear and panic caused "back home" that lead to an increase in sales in things such as guns, gas masks/biological warfare protection, bomb shelters and all those sorts of cold war-era type essentials.

I wouldn't say it is essential, though.

Though the question was about jobs... so, I don't know. Most of those people already had jobs in private security. They just took it overseas. Perhaps that opened up a new private security market in America ("at home").
