It’s been awhile since I posted one of these. Hat Tip to Spree at Wake Up America.

Seems the Dems have decided that a new tax will be needed to fund the war. Some Democrats in charge of Appropriations are thinking a “war surcharge”

… would spread the sacrifice among all taxpayers by tacking a “war surcharge” on top of the federal income tax. Americans would pay up to 15 percent more on their taxes in order to raise the $150 billion needed annually to keep the war going.

Despite the appearance of a novel funding idea by applying the proposed tax to all taxpayers, doesn’t all the money to fight the war already come from all the taxpayers? How will this be any different? If you answered it’s not, you’re right! It’s just MORE taxation.

Despite the appearance of equal sacrifice by all, isn’t the country’s tax burden already borne mostly by those with higher incomes? Don’t the top 10% of earners already pay more than 75% of taxes and the bottom 50% of earners currently pay almost nothing? If you answered “Yes!”, you’re right! So much for equal taxation.

Marveling that the Left never lets little things like reality get in the way of their spin …
