If there is a king of bilking schemes, it is the way the American government and corporations are taxing the poor to pay the rich for their wars.
I posted a Tom Englehardt column a few days ago (see it on the list to the left). It that, Englehardt decries the way our fearless leaders are bleeding the American taxpayer to pay for the war in Afghanistan. And make no mistake, that war, the whole “war on terrorism” and all the perpetual wars have one thing in common–they are making some rich people richer, and they are bleeding the poor.
So I invite and challenge you, look around this website and see the absolutely compelling reasons for speaking out on war taxes, while we still have at least a shred or pretense of democracy in which to do so. Money is only one of the reasons. End war tax! endwartax
