I agree that we should go to war BEFORE discussing how the middle class & poor will pay for it.

I appreciate the fact that Obama and Kerry are telling us to that we need to go to war NOW- we can discuss how the middle class and poor voters will pay for this one later.

Far left liberals are trying to fool people into not supporting freedom by insisting that Obama ask congress to raise taxes on the wealthy in order to pay for it.

This is a trick- the pacifists KNOW that Centrist Democrats and Republicans in congress would never do that. Even putting forth the question is just a trick to spread doubt and to otherwise keep us from fighting for freedom.

You dont ask who is going to pay for the fire truck when someone's house is on fire- you QUICKLY put out the fire, then worry about how the middle class and poor will pay for it later.

WE ALL need to share in the costs of this new war, that is, without putting any more burdens on the job creators.

Unless Obama or other high powered senators and congressmen state differently and call for the top 1% to pay for this war with tax increases, I can assume they agree with my clear-eyed, rationale analysis.

Who's with me???!!!!

A: Because the poor can't afford to pick up more of the slack.

In fact, it's not even a good idea for Obama or any other top DEM to discuss it.

We pay for it with the blood of our brothers and sisters who make the ultimate sacrifice for the freedoms enjoyed by the privileged, who pay the largest share in taxes so the wealthy can receive disproportionate write-offs, who fight the wars for oil so the wealthy can operate the private planes, yachts, and luxury vehicles with no regard for environmental consequences, and who pay for it by the indifference they receive from representatives in Congress because political contributions of merit come from the wealthy and from corporations...we already know this--we know how we pay...and still we abide.
