Time to levey a war tax on the wealthiest, just in case they go to war. An Eisenhower tax of 91%. I

[grahamhgreen]

mean, last week it was war with North Korea, this week Syria, before that Iran - kind of GWB's "axis of evil", they are following the neo-con playbook, time for a tax, cuz you know they are itching to do it.

And YOU are gonna pay for it.

1. The only one who can commit the USA to war is

The Nobel Peace prize awarded Commander in Chief.

Do you really think that the wealthiest voted for him?

How about we put the burden were it belongs?

3. I thought Congress held that power. eom

4. You will note I didn't say formally declare war

But under the war powers act the President can initiate military action as he sees appropriate.

At a certain point he must seek congressional approval.

In the meantime he has a half a trillion dollar overseas contingency fund to work with.

2. We can have all the wars we want, and pay for them with our bloated SS and Medicare payouts

Just ask our leadership and job creators.

Put not even a single penny tax on stock transactions, got damnit!

8. You have me thinking that every war is a financial attack on America's own people.

5. That's how we got the infrastructure we still use today. It's the only just thing to do.

6. Not that this would ever happen, since Uncle Sam is OWNED by the top 1%...

...but raising top marginal income taxes to 91% sounds like a DAMN fine idea to me.

[on point]

7. Let's enact a retroactive 90% to pay off the debt they already ran up

[grahamhgreen]

9. Sounds good to me!
