Militarism
“Arms for the Poor”
This video builds a dramatic case against the military-industrial complex.
It goes beyond politics and economics to ask if the arms business is not
killing our national (U.S.) soul.
While the poor need housing, education, and health care, the U.S. taxpayer
supports an immense military budget. Changing the rules of the game is the
goal of a bipartisan coalition of members of Congress who have introduced
the Code of Conduct on Arms Transfer Bill. This law will curtail the sale
of weapons to nondemocratic nations.
“Arms for the Poor” presents an international spectrum of
dignitaries and activists who share the belief of one Nobel Laureate that
“the poor are crying out for schools and doctors, not guns and
generals.” (25 minutes)
