The military two point eight percent is paid with your health, not their money

Published on June 01, 2026 | Translated from Spanish

Increasing defense spending to 2.8% of GDP sounds like autonomy, but in practice it is a direct cut to healthcare, education, and housing. The same politicians who preach independence from the United States are the first to sacrifice the social welfare of families to finance tanks and missiles. Hypocrisy knows no bounds when the money comes out of your pocket, not theirs.

An algorithm to split the defense bill 💰

The technical solution is simple: impose an extraordinary tax on large fortunes and on the profits of the arms industry. A progressive collection system where the richest 1% and the companies that manufacture weapons assume the real cost of security. Meanwhile, working families would be exempt. No complex mathematical model is needed, only the political will to program that fair distribution into the general budgets.

National defense, but only if you foot the bill 😒

It turns out that strategic autonomy has a price, and it seems the ticket is always paid by the same people. While politicians talk about sovereignty, the wealthy laugh in their armored mansions and defense companies rub their hands together. The funny thing is that no one proposes that missile manufacturers contribute their share. But don't worry, if things get ugly, we can always take refuge in a public hospital with fewer beds. Ironies of low-cost patriotism.
