Rep. David Obey, D-Wis., and Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., are proposing new taxes to pay for more U.S. troops in Afghanistan. Two top Democrats say they want to impose a new tax on the wealthy to finance any increase in U.S. troops for the Afghanistan war.

Like I believe that all that money raised from such a tax would really go to the troops anyway.
Gee, what are the chances?
Any tax increase will lead to less money to the treasury and more unemployment. The problem isn’t that the Federal Government taxes aren’t high enough, the problem is their priorities.
2010 CANNOT come soon enough.
Some seriously angry Americans out here looking for the day of retribution. Bet.
Why jizya (tax) the wealthy? Just let the muslim hordes eliminate the wealthy and anti-sharia clowns like Obey & Levin. /partial sarcasm
When they decide that we are in a war and begin fighting it like a war and then get out.......maybe. The government wants our military to act like a bunch of boy scouts, hold the enemys hands, nation building, don’t shoot unless fired upon, no air support, no artillery support. More taxes will just make more politicians richer.
Start with Hollywood!
HEAR, HEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Redistribution continues. The wealthy should pay for everything. The poor for nothing. Bunch of commies!
this goes hand-in-hand with their half-baked attempts to revive the draft (still angry that not enough people were upset to produce Vietnam-style protests during the Bush Admin)
We need a surtax to pay their salaries
So let me get this straight- we can be driven to our knees and line up to give a pound of flesh we don’t have to provide non-Constitutionally mandated healthcare to illegals et al but money for defense, which the Constitution clearly mandates, requires a new tax?
It’s rare that an occasion arises that more justifies a giant “WTF”???
