Title: | Arms for the Poor | Subtitle: | | Authors: | | Publisher: | | Media Type: | VHS | Description: | 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. áWhile 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."
