54% of Your Tax Dollar Pays for War -- including the Global War on Terror<BR> <BR>The War Resisters League has just released its analysis of the<BR>President’s 2009 budget, which highlights the percentage of<BR>income tax dollars taxpayers can expect to contribute to the<BR>Pentagon with their 1040 forms. <BR><BR>Taking issue with the administration's budget though, WRL<BR>includes an estimated $200 billion for the wars in Iraq and<BR>Afghanistan in the pie chart figures. The Bush budget, once<BR>again, blatantly refuses to include war spending in the budget<BR>adding in only a $38 billion 'allowance' for future requests for<BR>war spending. The WRL chart includes a graph, 'Funding the<BR>'Global War on Terror'' showing annual expenditures since 2001.<BR> <BR>For over 25 years “Where Your Income Tax Money Really Goes” has<BR>been used by groups and people across the country to call<BR>attention to the disparity between military spending -- making<BR>up over 50 percent of the Federal Funds budget -- and the funding<BR>of crucial domestic programs. Many note the military’s share,<BR>which includes both past and present expenditures, as a guide to<BR>determine how much they will refuse to send to the IRS in<BR>nonviolent acts of defiance known as war tax resistance. <BR><BR>The two-color flyer can be downloaded from www.warresisters.org<BR>or ordered from the WRL office for 10¢ each (1-199), 7¢ each (200 - 499), 6¢ each (500+) plus 20% postage.
