Another tax!! Are they nuts? How much more do you have to give?
War surtax. Two top democrats want to institute a new tax to offset the cost of the war in Afghanistan. The surtax would be on top of, not in addition to existing federal income taxes. The poorest would pay 1% and there would be a sliding scale to 5%. A surtax is typically not subject to any deductions.
The 2 leaders said military families have gone to the well time and again. It is now time for the American people to make some sacrifices. I wonder then if military will be excempt or simply asked to "go to the well" again.

So how are we supposed to take care of ourselves and our kids? They keep taxing us and we won't have money for food or any of the things one must have (shetler, clothing) and won't qualify for assistance. -

I think my family and I already paid enough already. They got my son and his service in Iraq, and took his hand, isn't that enough? We pay enough taxes, They need to take some of the money from saving the spotted toad or whatever and pay the military and their families more. -
