What Our Tax Dollars Pay For

from Daily Kos

"A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death." 

~ Martin Luther King, Jr., Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community?, 1967

I also appreciate my husband Ron's reflections on this:
"Sometimes a picture IS worth a thousand words. Global 'terrorism' is the answer to the prayers of arms manufactures and our politicians who are bought and paid for by the war industry. We are kept in constant fear so we won't question the madness of our social values. A measure of the success of this propaganda is the percentage of Americans who say that ISIS is the greatest threat to America. Not climate change, social and economic inequality,failing educational system etc., etc., etc." - Ron Matela

 Another world is possible! May we work together to make it happen!
