Its a bit different sending tax funds to Rome far far away, which is not the same as spending it locally in Constantinople.

The DC politicians should, but won't, learn a lesson about this.

constantinople wasnt a major trade influence until after 300ad.

You give the same exact answers to every debate......marxist....DPST... ..Teachers Union Education....socialist...DPST again. That is why it is useless to discuss and debate issues with you....it would be an oxymoron. That is why you are achieving SPAM status.

VM - Please look in a mirror

And someday - submit a topic for debate.

Meanwhile - IMHO - You are just a Cult member blinded by teh racism and marxism of your ideology.
