Well, alright then. Game on. I'm thoroughly against war on moral grounds, indeed also on religious grounds. So I'm introducing a bill that allows all opponents of military aggression to deduct 50% of their income tax bill because they don't want their tax dollars going to the Pentagon. How 'bout THAT? You want "conscience" waivers? Okay! You GOT 'em!!!!
How I would LOVE to hear one of our Senators or Congresscritters step up and do this! Just as some legislators at the state level have begun introducing legislation or adding amendments that call for men who expect insurance coverage for their Viagra prescriptions to undergo a state-mandated penile probe or proctological exam. Turn the tables. Turnabout is fair play. Goose, gander, and sauce, and all that. If they do it to us, WE show 'em how it feels to be on the receiving end of this shit.
