Sarah Palin: A war tax? Is Congress serious?

In another post on her Facebook Notes page, Sarah Palin described calls by two top Congressional Democrats for a "war tax" as "Scary. Nonsensical. Unacceptable." Rep. David Obey of Wisconsin and Sen. Carl Levin of New York have each proposed that a  surtax be imposed on the wealthy to pay for U.S. military operations in Afghanistan:
Congress Never Ceases to Amaze

Really? A tax on national defense? I hear liberal Congressional proposals and I, like most Americans, wonder if they’re serious. We’re going to put a price tag on security?

With Congress and President Obama spending money on everything at breakneck speed, it’s interesting that they are only now getting nervous about spending – but only when it comes to providing the necessary funds to complete our mission in Afghanistan. They don’t need a new “war tax” to fund a strategy for victory in the war zone. They simply need to prioritize our money appropriately.

I find it telling that the Pelosi-Reid Congress is only cost-conscious when it comes to our national defense. Scary. Nonsensical. Unacceptable.

  1. Not only do they like taxing things, but this allows them to loot the rest of the treasury for the radical domestic transformation, the top Dem priority, of course.

    Then when there's any complaints about the war tax, that will be the excuse to withdraw- as the tax to suppress public support for the war, and they know that.

    Obama will then say he was forced to quit... and blame it all on Bush, of course....
