Èske ou fatige tankou mwen nan istwa nouvèl sou frè ekolaj kolèj k ap monte? Mwen te soti nan kolèj pou anpil ane, epi ou ta dwe peye m 'tounen, men sa a se ridikil.
Pou wè ki jan ridikil, eseye yon eksperyans ti kras panse. Imajine louvri jounal ou ak lekti sa a:
"Lagè ak preparasyon pou lagè depans pou kay Ameriken yo te ogmante ankò ane sa a
"Kontinye yon tandans deseni ki long, pri a chak rezidan ameriken peye pou lagè li yo ak preparasyon lagè leve 5.3 pousan ane sa a.
"Avèk tout depans militè ameriken yo, atravè anpil depatman gouvènman an, rive $ 1.2 billions chak ane, selon Chris Hellman nan Pwojè Priyorite Nasyonal la, ak yon popilasyon ameriken 314 milyon moun, bòdwo bay moun ki chwazi pou fè lagè kòm etranje chwa politik ane sa a rive a $ 3,822 chak - san konte chanm, tablo, ak liv. "
Natirèlman, ki bòdwo a se pou nenpòt ki moun ki sipòte priyorite depans gouvènman ameriken an ak nenpòt ki moun ki pa fè sa, epi li nan yon bòdwo pou chak moun, soti nan andikape granmoun aje nan tibebe ki fèk fèt.
It’s a bill that might strike some as a bit high. So, here’s one way this imaginary news story might develop:
“In an expanding trend, thousands of Americans opted for a smaller military investment this year. Choosing to pay their share of a military the size of China’s — $188 billion, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute — some war consumers bought the $599 war plan this year.
“Others opted for the Russian model at a cost of $280. But with polls showing that Americans believe Iran to be the greatest threat to peace, the Iranian-sized military has become this year’s most rapid climber in the rankings; of course, the $20 price tag doesn’t hurt.
"Buddy Beaverton nan Sioux Falls, South Dakota, remake nan biwo lapòs la menm jan li te poste yon chèk: 'Si nou te kapab gen ekipman pou chak ane Kanada nan lagè pou $ 59 chak, poukisa mwen ta dwe peye $ 3,822? Li mal ase yo te gen pi bon mache medikaman sou preskripsyon ke nou pa gen dwa achte! '"
Mr. Beaverton would have a point. Some other nations that don’t invest in wars and war preparations the way the United States does also make college education free or affordable — and still have plenty of money to spare for frivolous luxuries like healthcare or energy systems that don’t render the planet unlivable.
Ki sa ki ta lavi nou ta dwe tankou si kolèj yo te kòm gratis ak endiskutabl kòm depans militè se kounye a, men depans militè te rive kòm yon fakti si ou vle?
Those who didn’t want it could choose not to pay. Those who wanted a coast guard, a national guard, and some anti-aircraft weapons could chip in a few bucks. Those who wanted a bit more than that could pay a bit more.
Ak moun ki te vle twoup nan 175 nasyon, transpòtè avyon nan chak lanmè, ase zam nikleyè detwi lavi sou plizyè planèt yo, ak flòt nan abèy ak ki twomatize ak antagonize plizyè nasyon nan yon fwa - byen, yo te kapab peye $ 3,822 yo, plis nan kou yon lòt $ 3,822 pou okenn moun chwazi soti.
Ki sa yon pwopozisyon nayif! Rete nan chwa endividyèl yo, yo pral detwi kominal la, ak defans nasyonal nou an ta konfizyon!
Really? People in the United States give over $300 billion to charity each year. Nobody forces them to. If they believed weapons and wars were the most important cause to donate their dollars to, they’d do it. No nation on earth spends $300 billion or anywhere close to it on its military, other than the United States.
E ak gouvènman an pa finanse finansye militè a nan fason sosyalis li yo, li ta ka chwazi olye pou finanse anpil nan kòz imanitè yo ki charite prive kounye a lajman konsakre. Bay Prive ta ka pran swen nan Pentagòn lan.
Men si si bon konprann sou rezilta yo kont-pwodiktif nan militaris gaye, si altènativ san vyolans yo te aprann, si kolèj gratis te gen yon enpak pozitif sou entèlijans kolektif nou yo, epi si lefèt ke nou ta ka fini povrete mondyal oswa kanpe rechofman atmosfè pou yon fraksyon nan aktyèl. depans militè yo fwi, ki moun ki konnen? Petèt militaris ta echwe nan mache lib la.
ZNetwork finanse sèlman atravè jenerozite lektè li yo.

I love your analysis, particularly the ‘socialistic funding of the military.’ I rhetorically ask why is it considered ‘socialism’ to fund at least a level of public healthcare, or improved public education, and not socialistic to fund the military?? All are ‘necessary’ for the public good and for security, aren’t they? And, what is so evil about socialism, anyway?
