Should Kerry tax the ultra rich to pay for this war?

[DaveSZ]

I say yes.

:)

It would be great if he could only tax wealthy Bush financeers, but it's too bad that's not the case.

Of course, with a Repug Congress he won't get anything done.

1. Yes, the rich and the corporations

[porphyrian]

4. ...especially the corporations.

Half the rights of a citizen and none of the responsibility - make those fuckers pay.

[zbdent]

You mean the "What, me sacrifice?" crowd?

You gotta be kidding.

(sarcasm off)

2. Bush and Cheney shouold have to pay for this out of their pockets

along with Bechtel, Haliburton, Standard Oil, and Ken Lay

[Kanary]

3. Of course

With both their $$$ and

THEIR KIDS!

[LTR]

5. He should tax anyone that is hardcore pro-Iraq War

Let 'em put their money where their mouths are.

Of course, this would only happen in a perfect world.

[truthspeaker]

6. Well, yeah, this war is solely for their benefit, so they should pay.

[DoveTurnedHawk]

7. Hell Yes!

I'd love to see the top income tax tier be at 50% or so! Not just to pay for the costs of this fiasco in Iraq, but to pay for programs that help the poor and middle-class.

DTH

8. I think that would make a great theme.

bush*/cheney says I don't support the troops. Well I call on them to rescind the tax cuts for the wealthy in this coutnry who can not only easily afford it, but should demand to do their fair share. That means a lot of people in Congress will see their taxes go up, mine included, as well as bush* and cheney*s. I am ready, willing and able to make a personal sacrifice, why are bush* and cheney so unwilling to do their part? Why do they undermine our troops with deficits that threaten our ability to maintain our men and women in harm's way. As President I will provide leadership by example and share the burden of our battlefield patriots by rescinding bush*s unpatriotic tax cuts on the wealthy!

Put your money where there life is, Meestar boosh*! Do your fair share!!

9. No wait! We can invade Iran and ...

pay for this war with the oil we get from there. Then we can invade Saudi Arabia and pay for the Iran war with the oil from there. Then we can invade Qatar and the UAE and pay for the Saudi war with the oil we get from there. Then we can invade Iraq again and pay ......

[Baltimoreboy]

10. How much money is "ultra rich?"

[wuushew]

12. Top 1-2%

maybe top 5%, regardless the taxes need to be raised anyway...schools lack funding, people lack healthcare and the national debt is balloning out of control.

[havocmom]

11. CLose loopholes for corporations that have PO Boxes on islands

to claim they are 'foreign based operations' so they can avoid paying taxes. That $$ would pay for more than a war. We might just make progress slowing down the crubmling of America's infastructure (which these corps. use to make $$) and maybe educate kids, take care of medical care for the working poor...
