favorite budget buster, the military. we are a country at war and yet for the first time in our history, we haven t asked the american people to sacrifice in support of that war. i propose a war tax. every american must pay 1% more in taxes in order to pay for the wars in iraq and afghanistan. i propose we sell it the way madison avenue sells cars. help support the troops and bring back the american economy. support the win the wars tax. if the american people think that the wars and balancing the budget are worth it, they ll rally behind the tax. if they say they don t want to pay a dime for those wars, then it s time to bring the troops home immediately and shut off the taxpayers money into iraq and afghanistan. now, state and federal governments generally don t like this, they prefer to take in general revenues and allocate them to multifunctions, but we need to get back to basics.
