And yet, these are the people who invariably want "a strong defense" and correspondingly high military spending, because their perception is that such spending increases their security and the security of their fortunes (and, since they invest in defense stocks and get interest on the government debt they buy resulting from such spending, they make money on it, too).

In effect, they are demanding that not only should someone else pay to protect their wealth, but that they should profit from that, too. Neat trick, huh?
