Where do your tax $$$ go?

It's a black hole of waste and corruption - I'm talking about the Pentagon budget.

When you add up all the various pots of gold where military money is hidden the total US military budget tops $1 trillion per year.

And what goes for wanting?

Health care, education, infrastructure repair, mental health programs, housing, environmental care, sustainable technology development and much more.

It's your money.

We've become a militarized economy where the only real government job creation in our local communities is weapons production and endless war.  American is addicted to war like a drunk sitting at the bar.

The Pentagon calls it 'security export'.  They mean that the US's role under corporate globalization will be endless war and regime change operations that only benefit Wall Street and the resource extraction corporations.

In Brunswick, Maine we will gather at the downtown post office between 11:00 - 1:00 pm on Monday (April 15) to hand out the above flyers to people as they drop their tax returns in the mail.

We've got to do all we can to get the public to think about where their hard-earned $$$$ is going and to encourage organizing to make life possible for the future generations.

It's not the poor and immigrants who are causing our national fiscal crisis.  It is war, greed and corporate domination of our political system and economy.
