CONGRESSIONAL LIBERALS USING THE WAR AS AN EXCUSE TO RAISE TAXES

NYTIMES/AP: Dems Propose Tax Surcharge to Fund War

Three senior House Democrats proposed an income tax surcharge Tuesday to finance the approximately $150 billion annual cost of operations in Iraq, saying it is unfair to pass the cost of the war on to future generations.

The plan, unveiled by Reps. David Obey, D-Wis., John Murtha, D-Pa., and Jim McGovern, D-Mass., would require low- and middle-income taxpayers to add 2 percent to their tax bill. Wealthier people would add a 12 to 15 percent surcharge, Obey said.

THE DEMS HAVE FINALLY FOUND SOMETHING ABOUT THE WAR THEY MIGHT LIKE: THEY CAN USE IT AS AN EXCUSE TO RAISE TAXES! (NOT ON YOU, ON THOSE GUYS RICHER THAN YOU. WINK-WINK.)

GOLLY GEE, TIMES SURE HAVE CHANGED:

IN THE OLD DAYS OF VEEEEEETNOM, THE LEFTIES OPPOSED THE DRAFT, THEY ALSO OPPOSED PAYING WAR TAXES.

WHICH I GUESS PROVES ONE THING: THAT THE DEMS HAVE NOT A SINGLE SOLITARY PRINCIPLE - EXCEPT HATING A STRONG AMERICA WHICH CAN ASSERTIVELY DEFEND AND EXPAND LIBERTY AROUND THE WORLD.
