Repeal Bush tax cuts to pay for Bush's ego based "surge" in Iraq...
Edited on Wed Jan-03-07 08:41 AM by Hubert Flottz
Repeal the four ego based Bush tax cuts and let the wealthy pay for Bush's bullshit based War In Iraq! The wealthy need to "sacrifice" too! The Wealthy 2% who got the Tax Cuts, don't send their kids to bleed in the wars they instigate and profit from and now they don't even pay their taxes!

1. Bring back the Excess Profits Tax.
Levy it on individuals, not the corporations. Set it at a quarter of a million dollars, and if you're lucky enough to make more than that in a year, every damned penny you make above $250,000 goes to the federal government to pay for the "War on Terror."

No more getting rich quick until the war is won. Period. Wonder how long that war would last if we did that?

2. Hey Flottz I'm Wealthy & My Kid Nearly Died In Iraq
But you are right about repealing the tax cuts. Fuck the tax cuts for the rich & the abolition of the estate tax. The rich can FUCKING AFFORD to be heavily taxed.

BTW I gave much money out in the hospital at Bethesda to many military families. I also took young wives and their children to the PX and bought clothes and toys. Not all of us with money are bad. Ya know I love ya Flottz. :loveya:

I am having a hard time dealing with the whole thing. It is hard to post when I am so sad.

6. I thought he was fairly seriously injured?
Those bastards. I've met a lot of wounded troops being sent back that have no business being in combat anymore. Best hopes and prayers as always Binka. Please lean on us when you need to dear.

7. He Was VERY Seriously Hurt & Should Not Go Back
But he is a stud and he has survivors guilt and he is being pressured. Here he is with Danny aka Danielle in September 2006.

9. Excuse me, but you gotta be shitting me?! I remember when you were posting about him
being injured. He's given enough, more than most people ever will. I'm so damned sorry Binka.
