Leaving aside the morality issue for the present, the war tax protesters seem
to have their percentages wrong.  The Defense Department gets somewhere
around 27% of the federal government budget, not 50%.  A good-sized piece of
that goes to pay pensions, and at least some of these go to the old and
disabled.  A more appropriate deduction would be 25% of tax due, not 50%.
