Has anyone proposed fixing deficit by funding defense like Social Security?

since defense is such a big cost, give it its own separate tax and make it pay as you go. If a war is planned in the future or erupts unexpectedly (the latter is a very rare occurrence if you're the world's only superpower) then that tax rate should be adjusted accordingly.

That is the minimum that should be done.

I wonder how much we would spend on defense then and how many wars we would get into.

1. Yep, wars are planned by the MIC, everyone wants some $$$$$. What we need is a kill tax on the

Department of War.

2. I don't know how the logistics would work,

But I like this idea.

3. I love this idea...

The people that are most likely to have to join the military shouldn't have to be taxed on top of that though.

4. I've been saying this for decades.

I wonder if there's law that states the military must be funded a certain way.

5. There is no law that matters if it's not what the rich want

6. I heard Randi Rhodes say something similar years ago, and Smedley Butler

said something similar to make war less appealing to the wealthy.
