MLK Speech on Vietnam War

Point from King's Speech:"And I knew that America would never invest the necessary funds or energies in rehabilitation of its poor so long as adventures like Vietnam continued to draw men and skills and money like some demonic destructive suction tube." (Lines 24-27)I chose this quote because the amount of money being used to support war efforts away from home (US) is far more than what is needed. Some of the money being used may be used to help a poverty epidemic back home.

MLK Speech on Vietnam War 1967

Similar Point in today's world:In today's world the United States is using a substantial amount of money on war efforts rather than the poverty going on in the state. There has been about 4.4 trillion dollars spent on wars in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iraq. This amount being far more than what was used to help poverty.
