You are surrounded by enemies who would kill you in a nanosecond and that it takes lots of money in the form of planes bombs etc etc to protect you. Thats how she rolls. One friggin missile costs enough to build a house. Yes its that bloody expensive. So before you all piss over yourselves in self pity remember one thing. Staying alive in Israel costs lots of ashkay. In spite of all that, Israel is doing pretty darn good considering what you have to do simply to stay alive. When you go out today, tonite whatever, thank a soldier for protecting your ass. He/she gets very little for doing what they do.

perhaps a tax increase on luxury items would also be beneficial, large cars, booze and cigarettes, perfumes and gold and silver items, etc.

manegement in our bureaucratic govt. but judging from the scandals erupting from time to time in the so called "exemplary", western democracies we're quite all right! But the Jewish penchant for self-flaggelation (beneficial for progress) sometimes overtakes our reason. Let's hope we survive the mindless excercises in populist leftism that are popping up lately. But Bibi, oh what shall they do with Bibi??? Poor leftist lunatics....(no, I did not vote for him)
