So now Nancy Pelosi is opposed to the tax? She co-signed the bill why? If they are so keen on raising money for war, then why don't they authorize the sale of war bonds? What? They won't find enough investors in war? Not one man, not one penny for Obama's war!

I initially agreed with the war in question because of 9/11 but
it's become evident that we have allowed ourselves to be suckered
into a conflict that has been waged time and again by past nations
and in different era's without learning a damn thing. Let's get the hect
out of there without bringing an even greater finacial burden upon the
American citizen.

Thank you from the heart of my bottom, all you loyal Democrats, for the kind offer to participate directly (via taxation) in the ongoing sacrifice of untold thousands of Afghan civilians as well as creating even more Depleted Uranium dust (Glow Now, Pray Later).
With all due disrespect, I decline to finance your horrorshow and fervently wish you the "best" as you hoist on your own petard. You will face an accounting someday, and most assuredly will be found wanting!

"why can't Bush and family pay for the war THEY STARTED"
That wouldn't be the same war that the Obama administration expanded, would it?
Ahem… GE, Dyncorp, Rand Corporation, Haliburton, KBR, Lockheed Martin, Amoco, British Petroleum, etc. etc.
Look beyond the puppets and recognize the corporatist superstructure.

[...] Citing increasing concerns about the rising cost of the Afghan War, a group of House Democrats led by Appropriations Committee Chairman David Obey (D-WI) have proposed a new tax on personal income. Rep. Obey (D-WI)The tax is being pressed forward as part of the “Share the Sacrifice Act of 2010,” which Rep. Obey and others say will ensure that all Americans share the onerous burden of continuing the seemingly endless conflict in Afghanistan. http://news.antiwar.com/2009/11/24/house-democrats-eye-war-tax/ [...]

Why tax the American people, we don't want the war.Lets take all the money these crooks in office have, rape their banks accounts, find their hidden oversea accounts, their ill gotten gains from big business and take every penny to pay for the war they want. I voted for this president on his promise to end the wars, so now its time to work to make sure his time in office is short.He lies as well as all the idiots in Washington.

Screw these people! I already regret paying the current war tax. It's time for the US people to make it clear that they don't want these wars.

And what we have in our Congress are 535 idiots and morons, TRAITORS, crooks and thieves, some perverts, and incompetents – NONE who have any moral character or integrity – and NONE of whom have any concern for the welfare of the American people. While we may laugh at the French people – at least they had the courage to storm the Bastille in 1789. The American people need to storm the Congress before they totally destroy America.
