Pay for War using Bush Tax Cuts for Rich

[Joanne98]

There are many people on the progressive side and many in the middle who support President Obama's recent argumment that Bush Tax Cuts for the Rich should expire at the end of the year.

Why are we as progressives not using an argument which at least has the potential to shame the rich and the Republicans instead of just focusing only on moral arguments of fairness and deficit? Economic fairness does not bother the rich republicans and their conservative base.

I propose that we should say : Bush's Taxes should pay for Bush-initiated wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

those of you with a better flair can modify it to may be Bush's tax cuts should pay for Bush's wars (of course I know that he left them for President Obama to clean up)
