America and world poverty

US is the problem not the poor. US is 5% world population and uses 33% of world resources and they have a military to keep it so.

India total government spend  $263bn for 1100bn people (2012 budget)

UK health budget                    $176bn annually for 50m many wealth inflicted illnesses (2012)

US military budget                    $650bn annual spend to keep its way of life  (2012)
