Reply #61: Anti-War Profit Amendment [View All]

[Hawkowl]

I would like to see an amendment that would prohibit any company or person from making ANY profit at all on a war. Defense companies would be able to make profit during peacetime, but ONLY during peacetime. Once hostilities begin all dividends and profits stop and all defense employees salaries are strictly controlled. The highest salary any defense employee could make would be equivalent to a 4 star general.

This in my opinion, would stop virtually all wars in their tracks. For good measure I would like the Defense Department properly renamed as the War Department. This would solve the "democrats are soft on defense!" issue.
