I'm for it
Who can be against a war tax?
Top House Democrats Tuesday proposed a "war surtax" to pay for the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, a plan quickly condemned by Republicans and opposed by the House leadership.
The surtax would be "a percentage of your tax bill," said House Appropriations Committee Chairman Dave Obey, D-Wisconsin. "And if you don't like the cost, then shut down the war."
Why stop at a war tax? I'd love to see my tax contributions fleshed out.
- War .... 45% ($2250)
- Interest on debt .... 6% ($300)
- Education, disease prevention, environment, non-military scientific research, transportation, etc. .... < 5% ($250)
