Fair enough. The foot soldiers don't get paid extra, you're correct on that point. Everybody knows who's actually profiting off of this but as long as the corrupt system is in place you won't get to them. And the only way to take down a corrupt system is to make it unprofitable for the foot soldier.
For example the communist revolution in Russia would have never succeeded if the people had started to ambush and kill the bolshevik foot soldiers instead of just accepting their fate.
No. You would be arresting people at the lowest level. Those people get their regular government paychecks and follow orders.
So? What do you think happens if you smack the foot soldiers around? They're gonna start thinking real hard about following orders.
I'm referring to the "follow the money" portion of the previous post.
