Gerald you do make a good point about the cost of the war. In fact from the beginning my biggest objection with that has been that we cant afford the war.
But.... if you think the tax increases will go towards depleting the federal deficit I really dont think you have been paying enough attention to the democrats.
The first thing the democrats are going to do is make sure everything gets all democratized and shizzle. That extra tax money is going to go towards income redistribution such as welfare, social programs, healthcare and other items to create bigger government and send us closer to socialism.
Im all for smaller government, less spending and massive government spending, budgeting, and hiring/firing reforms. Unfortunately we took a step in the wrong direction last night.
