When I was in Kindergarten there were "War Bond" stickers that could be purchased at school. The money went to help pay the costs for WWII. I wonder why they are not being issued to help pay the costs now? Could it be because the Iraq conflict is an "undeclared" war? That the powers that be would rather tax the middle class out of existence? There has got to be a be a better way don't you think?
