Militarism and Military Spending Signify Theft from Needy

Did you know that 54% of federal income tax revenue will be spent (based on projections for the 2009 budget) on military? The world is rife with economic exploitation, of the Earth's resources, of human labor. Inequitable human labor in a day and age of high technology is not only unnecessary, but immoral and unacceptable as well.
"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 are not clothed." - Dwight David Eisenhower
From the War Resister's League [original charts available at link]:
