750 billion divided by 300 million Americans is $2500 each. Have a family of 4? Fork over 10 grand to Uncle Sam. And for what?
If you think this is all about fighting terrorists, then consider that the 750 billion in Iraq (not counting Afghanistan) divided by the roughly 3000 people killed on 9/11 comes out to $250,000,000 per person killed. For that much money we could be saving many, many more than 3000 lives.

Distribute it over the hundred million of us who actually pay taxes and it's even worse!

Well since we've been there for 4 years that's only 625/year so really thats not that bacd considering we at least got some results. An insane genocidal maniac was removed from a position of power. Incidently how much did you personally pay in income taxes last year? I paid over $4,000.00 so at least $625.of it was put to some good use. Unlike the portion that went to the War on Poverty a War we have now been fighting for 40 years and are still losing!

What You need to understand is that the money is not the issue, the honor of this country and the respect for lives given by our service members requires that the job is finished with a victory. Are we to once again cave in because liberals lack the morality to stand up for this country??
