Should the US implement a war tax to pay for the war?

Question

And pay off some of the debt created by it?

Answer 1

Just on Liberals and call it a whining tax.

Answer 2

The US has already implemented a "war tax" to pay for the war. We as Americans are just not sophisticated enough to know it. When the US started the Iraq War and bogus "war on terror", Bush and his croonies just kept asking Congress for more and more money for "national security and homeland defense" and Congress did it. The US "credit" is similiar to your personal credit.

When you want to pay for something but don't have enough "cash on hand", you charge it to a credit card. If your credit limit is $2000 and your balance is $1900, the credit company doesn't just say, oh, America wants to buy a $500 gun, so we will increase America's credit limit to $3000. That's not very smart to do this unless the credit company has reaccessed your assets and income believes you can handle a higher credit limit.

Unfortunately, that is what the Congress has done to pay for Iraq War and "war on terrorism". They raised the US borrowing limit! But America has to eventually pay back the money it borrowed (with interest) to its lenders and AMERICA is us. The only way the US collects money is from taxing its citizens and corporations.

It doesn't matter if an official "war tax" is issued or not. We all (including children) will be paying higher taxes to pay for this war. Think of it like those special credit card offers that allow you to not make any payments for 6 months or longer! Unfortunately many Americans think these offers are great deals!

Answer 3

You bet. Not paying for this war is as much of a crime as starting it. Can you even imagine what sacrifices our American wage-earners are going to have to deal with when the chickens spawned by the Bush Junta chicken hawks come home to roost? It's almost like Bush, Chaney, Rice and the rest that bunch are totally nuts. Who the hell do they think is going to pay off the Chinese for the moola they lent us for this bogus war? The man in the moon? Worse, they're lending us back the money we gave them for their shoddy goods. What an insult! 'Everyday Low Prices' are going to cost us a bundle. A 2% federal war tax on all goods should go into effect tomorrow and last until every cent of this debt is paid off in full. You can bet that this war would stop in it's tracks. Can't afford it? Hard cheese! Do you think it will be easier to pay off later with the accumulated interest? How about one of those magnatic yellow ribbons for you car that says....Raise my taxes...pay for the war! That'll get someone's attention! Who knows...maybe Bush!

Answer 4

It sounds nicely to me, to boot the League of countries factor which does no longer impression us anymore now that the incompetent League of countries has been replaced by employing way of the corrupt and incompetent United international locations. yet I basically like the entertainment of it, even although i'm now no longer sure what "Council" they advise in #5. that would desire to be taken out as reliable. i do no longer furnish a crap what some council says, i will vote on who i've got self belief is first-fee. There fairly isn't a rationalization for #3 anymore, even although i could see why they'd say that back then. If regardless of, the approved popularity of fathers will could be raised. yet I know why they included it then. Tippee- for the reason that no longer between the ladies and adult adult males persons who've been desperate to be corrupt interior the UN basically recently have been American, i've got self belief you're focused on the incorrect united states good right here. Tippee- i don't be responsive to the way that helps what you stated. And to boot, if it wasn't for the US the UN would desire to crumple. We foot 25% of the bill and get next to no longer something for it. we are getting a uncooked deal from the UN. yet, as this had little to do with the extremely question i will say not greater on the sphere. i will could've cut back it off basically before be trustworthy. Tippee- i discussed i used to be achieved, in spite of the undeniable fact that i'd desire to ask this. Why will could the US bow to the UN?

Answer 5

Absolutely not. The "war" should end, and we should pay off the debts, by removing all of the corruption and needless spending in all of the bureaucracy of our government. Why should the American people pay for a "war", that the majority of them do not want to be involved in.

Answer 7

Like that Spanish American War tax that just got repealed last year.

If we all gave 1/2 of everything we own for just one year, that would take care of most of the Bush War expense

Answer 8

No. It would only be used for something else. However, the debt can be reduced if Bush could find that so many billions "lost" in war funding or those retrieve those "stolen weapons".

Answer 9

What war? Did Congress declare war?

Answer 10

The way the dollar and the economy are going, there will not be any money for war or taxes.
