We provide them the material support to turn those ideals into actions. We defend those actions politically and militarily. Are you confident they're just the ideals of Netanyahu and Likud?

What even is "rich?" 10 million dollars in wealth? 100 million? A billion?

What benefits to society are achieved by allowing an individual to accumulate 1 billion dollars in wealth as opposed to, say, 100 million dollars? It's an honest question, because I can't think of any.

I don't have an issue with what Vance did in the military. There's a whole lotta non-combat jobs that still need to be done and he did one. Great.

But he's an absolute douche bag for promoting the stolen valor BS, and I'd say it's far more illustrative of his "honor" than his service.
