War - And this would be going to War should not happen unless we have total agreement with the rest of world. Oh yeah - and I need a declaration for Congress and progressive war Tax with the top ten percent paying the highest rate (we fall into this). Plus a ten percent tax on Capital Gains. And someone else has to go in my cousins' places. You can't pull the three serving in Afghanistan out for this - and the other four already did their time in Iraq and Afghanistan. Let some DUer beating the war drum sacrifice their life or famiy member's life for this.
I have a lot of caveats I guess. But my gut says - no more war. Selfish people have put enough stress on our family, national debt, And social services. They want this? Pay up in money, blood, and worry.
