i don't think anyone WANTS to pay higher taxes, but some people who make a lot of money realize that there is going to be a lot of suffering if the gap between tax revenue and spending isn't closed

iraq and afghanistan don't cost that much in relation to other government spending...iraq is by far the largest war expenditure and it has cost less than $570 billion since march 2003...that is the exact about the the budget deficit in a *single* year in 2004, and this year's deficit will be about twice that amount...the US national debt is over $10.6 trillion now, and it will probably crack $11 trillion before george bush retires in luxury...the current fiscal year cost of interest on that debt will be about half a trillion dollars...george bush and congress have been blowing cash like a trillionaire with cancer in a whorehouse...would you 'want' to pay more tax to finance that tab? go ahead and pay extra tax on your own...the rest of the country seems content to pass that tab on to future generations...their grandkids are going to be very angry at the sacrifices they will have to make for the current excesses...americans have been borrowing money from their grandchildren to finance an artificially high standard of living
maladroit Reviewed by maladroit on . Tax/War question Maybe someone can answer this for me because everyone avoids it like an STD Why is it that everyone who supports the war in Iraq/Afghanistan dont want to pay higher taxes? I mean where is all extra this money supposed to come from? It just shows me how all these patriotic people want "victory" but yet dont want to sacrifice anything of themselves. Rating: 5
