Where do all your tax dollars go? To war!

As you pay your taxes this year, keep in mind that 53 cents of every discretionary dollar goes to America’s military machine. Meanwhile, we can’t have universal healthcare. Talk about messed up priorities!

    Rania: you should have and post an interview with Tulsi who is advocating to end many of the things you have shown to be misplaced priorities. She is being ignored by most of the mainstream media because of her pacifistic stance. I’m glad that she qualified to be in the debates…it will be interesting to see how the others respond to her, but I fear that her message (like yours) will be too little too late. While you’re at it, get back in touch with Abby and Robby Martin and persuade her to also interview Tulsi and post to Media Roots as she did with your interview last week. Peacemakers should unite now and blast out as much as they can to promote others who promote peace.

    This is brilliant, simple and true. It’s amazing how such simple truths can be masked and spun sideways to a point where an entire society can not only escape, but avoid such basic, and simple logic. Thank you …
