2. How so? With a brilliant analysis like that I'm sure

we can seriously consider health care reform.

44% of our tax dollars (estimated, obviously) go to fund the war machine and no one cares to discuss why exactly we can't find the money to fund simple things like doctors visits, education, etc.

When an "NRA member" stands up in a crowd and asks "where's the money coming from" the easy answer lies in redistributing the funds represented in this chart.

I didn't spell it out in all caps, but perhaps this will make it more obvious for you.
