Income chart - disgusting and troubling

[cascadiance]

8. I'd in the past advocated a temporary top bracket premium...

... income tax rate that would last as long as the U.S. was involved in war, so that those at the top the benefit the most from war spending would PAY FOR IT DAMMIT!

And perhaps making it so that it would scale back to a lower top end tax break if we didn't have war would provide them incentive to have our industrial markets make bigger investments in areas not associated with war, and hopefully build industry that GROWS OUR COUNTRY and its own citizens' well being instead of destroying other countries and its citizenry's well being!

The big question is how would you put in a proper threshold to decide when we are at war or not. Probably can't do it for every action the government takes and at times does just to protect itself in an emergency action, but make it so that the military industrial complex can't find ways to work around it too.
