It is about freedom. Freedom from terrorist. Freedom from big government. The primary role of our government is national defense. We want a strong military and economic and personal freedom.

How exactly are we going to pay for this war?

A better question is what is the cost of taking no military action against terrorist?

I also love how the Bushies demand you make sacrifices such as your civil liberties and rights..... but take away their tax cuts and then see where THEIR sacrificing is?
|
"Bushies", assuming you mean rich people, are paying more in taxes today, than at anyother time in history. There is a difference between tax rates and what people actually pay in taxes.

They want the war, they don't care about illegal wiretaps, opening of mail, etc...... that's just us poor people who need to worry....... but you threaten their tax cuts and tell them that we need the money to fund the war so our kids won't have to pay for our greed and they get pissy and start crying about how it's THEIR money.
|
If I work hard, make good decisions, make a lot of money, its NOT MINE? Are you a socialist?
I don't want war. I just want our enemies to leave us alone. But if they do want a fight, I aint gonna sit around holding hands singing 'give peace a chance'!
Big brother is probably reading this right now, we had better be careful, because Bush and Rumsfeld love to sit around a fire reading info they get from illegal wiretaps.
I am a risk taker. I going to do a google search on making bombs, I will let you know how long it takes for the FBI to come calling. Perhaps we can start a pool.

So we'll just keep plunging deeper into debt and when all of a sudden their tax rates and their children's tax rates are 75-90% because the government has to pay the loans off for this war and the middle class evaporated because there were no decent paying jobs...... let's see how badly they cry then..... or perhaps they'll take their balls and move out of the country, because they won't want to have to pay for their mistakes and greed.

I wonder why that did not happen after WWII? Any thoughts? Wait we actually had an economic boom after WWII. Oh, and some would argue that government spending during WWII helped grow the economy out of depression.
I wonder why that did not happen after the Vietnam War? Korean War? WWI? Civil War?

In short..... a severe tax increase (I believe once FED. State and local are taken it'll be 75-90%) will happen to pay for this war and to pay for the middle class that evaporated because the CEO's wanted to make millions and millions and pay their workers pennies.
|
CEO's don't want to pay workers anything. However, they HAVE to pay their workers a fair competetive wage, or they loose those employees to the competition. CEO's are "workers" too. Unless they own the company they run, they are accountable to the "man" just like everyone else. He who owns the gold makes the rules. It is truly a mean, mean world.
