2) If it's smart for you to not pay taxes...then it's smart for us to not pay for defense
3) We chose to feed our children and citizens rather than feed the war machine
4) Of course, the US has to pay more for defense...it also pays a lot more making enemies than the rest of us
5) NATO says that the US should spend more money solving climate change thereby preventing future wars rather than funding wars
6) NATO says the US should fund healthcare for all of its citizens
