If ISIS is so scary and dangerous, we must RAISE TAXES TO PAY FOR this WAR [View all]

The media and politicians are so scared, they no doubt will go along with raising taxes to pay for something so important-

This is just so scary- the boogeyman is going to get us!!!

Bernie Sanders needs to bring up raising taxes to pay for this,

That will put an end to this bullshit real fast.

We can also follow what Smedley Butler suggested, that during a time of war, the CEO's of the war machine will take the same pay as a grunt.

This will end talk of war forever.

Have the terrified pundits and politicians explained how they are going to pay for this?

Because Last time....those two tax cuts didn't actually work out so well....

....then they blamed poor, unemployed and disabled people for all the money they wasted.
