I think thats a wonderful idea Kelly. One that needs to be explored further. That could go for war profiteers and you could take it a step futher and tax the companies that stand to make millions off the Nafta superhighway.

There are households in places in the North of england the place no person has had a job for 3 generations. the persons who've responded on your question in terms of benefit claimants being too lazy to get off their backsides and seem for paintings do no longer understand what they are talking approximately. In answer on your question, returned in the nineteenth century whilst there have been no state advantages, the previous have been left to starve and the undesirable have been placed into the workhouse, there grow to be a public outcry over the upward thrust of income tax from a million% to 2.5%. Admittedly, we are actually paying off the fees run up in struggling with 2 international wars and particularly some conflicts considering then, however the fact of the situation is that the government does no longer desire something like as plenty money if it did no longer pay state advantages and finance the NHS.

Makes sense.
If we're in the battle for civilization, as Bush says, then what entitles certain people to make a profit off of the people who are fighting for civilization?

You are aware that they will raise prices right...? Take a few tax courses before you go off.

I don't believe anybody should profit from war. If nobody profits, there would be far less wars.

You sound like an angry socialist.
You'll fit in well with the Democratic party and moveon.org.
