Democrats propose war tax

[Will E Worm]

Dems propose war tax to make Iraq more unpopular.

Senior Democrats, apparently looking to make the war in Iraq still more unpopular, now are proposing a new tax to pay for continuing combat operations.

The plan unveiled today by House Appropriations Committee Chairman David R. Obey, Defense Appropriations Subcommittee Chairman John P. "Jack" Murtha and Rep. Jim McGovern would spread the sacrifice among all taxpayers by tacking a "war surcharge" on top of the federal income tax. Americans would pay up to 15 percent more on their taxes in order to raise the $150 billion needed annually to keep the war going.

"If you don’t like the cost, then shut down the war," Obey said today.

The Democratic leadership, still looking for a way to seize control of the war, has yet to endorse the new tax.

Great idea

Remember who started this. It wasn't the Republicans. Not that I'm defending them.

What happened to "hope" and "change we can believe in"?

More empty campaign slogans to appease the mass herds of sheeple.
Just like I and many others tried to warn you all about.

A third party would be better for this country remember that next time you campaign for either of the big "two." They all lie, always have, and always will.

Let's try the Constitution Party next time. :hatsoff:
