There was a whole lot of shared sacrifice during WWII. Seems like if we really want to win this one, we ought to be able to share a little sacrifice.

Thank you Mr. Rangel.

Once again. Reduced tax rates, increase government revenues. Kennedy knew it, Reagan knew it, and Bush knows it.

Sure. After all, we're at war. But, in your mind, what constitutes "sacrifice".

Are we supposed to raise taxes...and kill the economy?

Are we supposed to institute a draft...unnecessarily?

Are we supposed to submit to the absurd security policies of the TSA...forever?

Or should we correspond with a soldier in Iraq? Or contribute to charities that support the survivors of fallen warriors?

During WW II the media and Hollywood were on America's side, and supported the war effort, including the sense that everyone contributed something. Today the media and Hollywood are mostly anti-American, and will trash anyone with the temerity to suggest we all should pay for "Bush's War." This is a vicious trap set by the left to further split the people from the military forces fighting on freedom's behalf.

Let some congressman suggest raising gasoline taxes by 10% as a war surtax and see what follows, from Dionne and the rest of the whorehouse left.
