Hi J,
I'm not sure. I almost faint when my wife asked me about how we should vote on the health care reform.
She doesn't have a clue to who's who, what's what and how's how of our government, except less tax is good.
She's very good at her profession, but she's a little clueless. I think I might be responsible.

Send the Chinese the bill for energy stability. It's about time for these cheapskates to pay for flow of stable energy.

Lawmakers: New Tax Should Pay for Afghan War
Friday, November 20, 2009 8:36 AM
Article Font Size
Influential U.S. lawmakers called on Thursday for levying a new income tax to pay for the war in Afghanistan, warning its costs pose a mortal threat to efforts like a sweeping healthcare overhaul.
"Regardless of whether one favors the war or not, if it is to be fought, it ought to be paid for," said the a joint statement from the lawmakers, all prominent Democratic allies of President Barack Obama.
The proposed "Share The Sacrifice Act of 2010" came with Obama set to announce within weeks his decision on whether to send more US troops to fight the war, now in its ninth year.
The group included House Appropriations Committee Chairman Dave Obey; Rep. John Murtha, who chair that panel's defense subcommittee; and House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank.
The proposal, a heavily symbolic measure seen as having next to no chance of becoming law, would impose a war surtax on income beginning in 2011 — though it would allow the president to delay implementation by one year upon deciding the US economy is too weak to sustain such a tax shift.
It also would exempt members of the U.S. military who have served in combat since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist strikes, their families, and families of soldiers who died as a result of combat.
"The only people who've paid any price for our military involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan are our military families," the lawmakers said. "We believe that if this war is to be fought, it's only fair that everyone share the burden."
If the war is not paid for, its costs "will devour money that could be used to rebuild our economy by fixing our broken healthcare system, expanding educational opportunities and job training possibilities, attacking our long term energy problems and building stronger communities," they said.
The measure would create a three-tiered change in income tax with the goal of paying for all of the war's costs.
Couples earning up to $150,000 per year would see a 1 percent increase in their regular tax level, from 15 percent to 15.15 percent.
For those making between $150,000 to $250,000 a year or $250,000 or above, the president would have to set the rate increase high enough to pay for the remaining war costs, and in such a way that the middle-tier earners pay half what the top earners do.
The war costs roughly $68 billion a year, which would mean that the middle tier would see its rate rise from 28 percent to 29.5 percent, while the top would climb from 33 percent to 36.6 percent, according to a person familiar with the plan.

That would be setting them straight. Or a start at least.

I guess someone flipped on the neo-con brain scrambling device again. Or maybe it's just a lack of instructions from their overlords.
