      We need to challenge the leaders of our country, no matter which party they're in, on our national priorities. Puerto Rico's governor estimated that $100 billion is what's required to fully rebuild after the hurricane. We spent $2.4 TRILLION to kill a million people in Iraq.

      Think about it. Every "ambitious" policy proposal you've ever thought of and told was a pipe-dream because of the cost. We spent $2,400,000,000,000 in Iraq. For death, destruction, destabilization.

      We could take on major social ills and America and EASILY end them. I'm talking hunger, poverty, homelessness. These are a pittance compared to what we waste on the war machine.

      These are the things Martin Luther King Jr. was questioning before he was assassinated. The rich and powerful don't like it when we question why there are mllions suffering in this country when we clearly have the means to end it. There's lots of money being made in these wars.pic.twitter.com/nW59ZCbwq9

      He was right to question it then as we are right to question it now. We have to question the way our economy and society are structured. We must come to realize that poverty and suffering are not just byproducts of our current system, but a necessary and key component.

          War and poverty is the worst form of violence.

          You know it’s one thing to stand up against racism, another to stand up for the poor, because the latter opposes the corporate control/profits of and in this country. You can speak out against anything, just not this. King was utterly vilified when he organized for the poor.
