Want to slash gov't waste?... Start with the military complex.

 

Who said this?:

 

~"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed. those who are cold and not clothed."

 

Yep... It is no other than that Republican icon and 5 star general Dwight D. Eisenhower. The same guy, who as prez, taxed the rich at a staggering rate compared to what people are whining about today.

If you replace military complex with police services, isn't the heart-wrenching statement still true? Or the arts or education for that matter?

 

Let's face it: every burger made could have been 50 day's of algea food for starving vegetarians. Shouldn't we start by outlawing the foods at the top of the pyramid?
