Paying for War

Steven Kyle dislikes paying for a War which he did not want, and tries to find some method to tax Those who most favored it in the first place. His suggestion is to repeal the Bush Tax Cuts for Those who make more than a quarter-million dollars per year, his reasoning being These are most likely to have supported into the War through avenue of being Republican in the vast majority. I specifically dislike this ideation, as I feel the Bush Tax Cuts should be lapsed on all Income levels; Taxpayers managed successfully to pay the Taxes of the Clinton era, and enjoyed some success in their economic endeavors–even after the Tech Bubble burst. It was a Time before the United States owed the entire World, and We had even a relatively stable Trade balance.

I possess a even more simple method to pay for the War, while most taxing Those most in favor of the War in the first place. It is so simple that I amaze myself sometimes at the rationality of my mind. The real method to target Those most supportive of the War, and the administration which advocated it, is to permanently forbid issuance of Special Appropriations for the War; i.e., the Defense Budget must finance any defensive measure or Deployment, from Now until the end of Time. Who profits Most for any American War?–the Military/Industrial Complex. Who has always did the Most for raise political campaign contributions for the current Administration?–the Military/Industrial complex. Who benefits most from Defense Budget Appropriations?–you guessed it–the Military/Industrial complex. Who has the Most to Lose if Defense Budget Appropriations are downsized?–back to the Military/Industrial complex. If all Deployment of Forces Costs must come from the general Defense Budget, who would be most interested in limiting such Deployments?–again, the Military/Industrial complex.

Could it possibly be that an Alliance could be forged between Liberals and the Military/Industrial complex? How could this possibly be? Informing Generals they had the Choice to Make: Fancy new Weapon systems, or feeding Troops in the Field. Could such a simple Statement of Policy actually lead to a reduction of Troops in the Field, and a decision which would be supported by a greater majority of Conservatives in this Country? I hereby declare Advocacy for elimination of all Special Appropriations for all Defense Spending, insisting all such Funding be covered by a yearly general Defense Budget. lgl
