But I'm thinking by having an "extra" bracket addition when we are at war will serve to provide more incentive to stop the military industrial complex in its tracks by putting in place disincentives towards investments in their businesses. That is ALSO a good goal in addition to having more tax money in the government paid for by the rich.
And then also, if the Republicans continue with their lines that we can only allocate money if we find some way to pay for it for other programs we like, then we can throw back that this in effect would be exactly be what we're doing for THEIR infatuation with war spending and NOT PAYING FOR IT! By tying a tax increase on those who profit from it directly to whether we have war expenditures or not, will punch them in the mouth and say, you asked for it you got it BUD! You spend it, you pay for it!
