Every year, every one of our Congressmen and Senators should be forced to distribute a pie chart displaying how much of the current budget is going to the Pentagon for "defence".Every year it has been more than 50%.
I don't think most Americans know that half their tax money goes to war spending. That it always has. And that it always will.
I for one, have some different priorities, and I am sure you do too. If I spent half our family budget on guns and ammo, I would quickly be divorced. Yet we stay married to our Military Industrial Complex as if this kind of spending is okay. Not only is it a waste of resources, it is immoral.
