National Priorities Project - Interactive Tax Chart

27% of the tax payers money going to the killing machines, less than that for health! even more disturbing is the fact we are spending 19% of the budget to pay the interest on debt! when you add veterans benefit which is 3% on on the military spending, the budget is 30% for war and products of wars. A nation spending that much would not stays on top of the world albeit on borrowed money and time.

The outcomes and potential outcomes of these uprisings have also acquired new, very significant dimensions. These include a complex entanglement with the accelerated preparations for a possible attack on Iran, and a poisonous, sectarian aspect that could have the consequence of ripping Syria and the Middle East apart.
