Not sure how much a day we spend on wars but it is a lot. We should at least spend as much for constructive things that would be helpful to Americans. But do not want to shock anyone because the military is consuming so much of the budget (to be paid for in later generations) that many poorer tax payers are stressed to the limit already.

So how about $2.00 a year for anyone earning 12,000 or under. $10.00 a year for anyone earning more then 12 but under 40 thousand a year. And $50.00 bucks a year for those with larger incomes then already noted. With millions of people involved that would add up to enough to fund schools, fire and police departments, and social services. But of course that is just and estimation which is not based any figures about amounts that I was able to totally reseach.

I do not think they should tax special interest groups like gas users or smokers to raise money via sin taxes by making them look like the bad guys, but regular income taxes only.

Also I think we should give Iraq a choice, get their house in order or we will pay for our continued task forces with their oil profits. That would take some of the weight off the taxpayers. If they hamper the reconsturction in Irag we can use the money to reconstuct our county.

But the important point is we cannot stand by and watch our emergency rooms close down and watch our public schools fail, nor can we create another depression by closing down public services for the needy. We must bring back the dream and the promise that we will be the greatest country in the world, for one and all. People like Anrold S. of California get into office and they think the important thing is to save the government by maintaining the budget, by dowsizing what the common people need. It is not about saving the governmental budget it is about saving or way of life as a country that demonstrates compassion and is willing to invest in the future through education. A country where poverty does not dominate but is overcome with some of the wealth this nation was blessed with having.

If we elect the right people we can have a voice through the paying of taxes, money talks. (that is my soapbox opinion).
