AMERICAN SAMIZDAT CRUNCHED THE NUMBERS AND DETERMINED -- THANKS TO A VANITY FAIR ARTICLE ABOUT MILITARY CONTRACTORS -- THAT SUCH contractors absorb the taxes paid by everyone in America with incomes under $100,000. In other words, more than 90 percent of all taxpayers might as well remit everything they owe directly to A MILITARY contractor rather than to the IRS. In Washington these companies go by the generic name "body shops". ONE OF THEM, Science Applications International Corporation, employs 44,000 people and took in $8 billion last year, IN PART BY SELLING THE BRIANPOWER THAT RUNS THE OCCUPATION OF IRAQ. Robert M. Gates, the new secretary of defense, whose confirmation hearings lasted all of a day, is a former member of SAIC's board of directors.
