BTW obama in mid war has raised taxes on bullets and all that jazz.. im sure with a bit of reading you will see how it all adds up. in the richest eyes grunts are expendable... I would say this war is one of the best examples of this hands down... I can understand where ppl might find this offensive and i mean no disrespect to our fallen, but someone has to be honest.. If it wasn't the way i am laying it out than we would have no discussion about the war at all. This war was a designed failure.

Little to offer in the way of taxes? I think not.

The point of taxing the sale of weapons higher is to help support the war effort, not pay for it all and leave profit behind. |

Do you mean where does the Government get it's money? Still doesn't make sense since that would be an entirely irrelevent question. The United States prints the majority of it's currency. The U.S Dollar was once backed in gold but since that standard has been dropped. This doesn't make the dollar worthless however as it is "backed" by the natural resources the production of this unit consumes. This money is regulated by a system of banks. The U.S Government makes money off of the collective system of taxes (as well as other, irrelevent means). The total wealth of the nation always exceeds that of the U.S Government. For the U.S to spend money to make less money in return (i.e by starting aa war for those reasons) simply doesn't make sense. Last edited by someonecompletelyrandom; 11-02-2009 at 09:59 PM. |

not really...
we fund the gov by stimulating the economy with our own income. "our" tax dollars pay for war (but not all of it).. also it has been stated (Conspiracy) that there is some barrowing from other "sources" with debt attached before the first bullet is fired.. These "sources" are some of the weathiest ppl in the world. Since it is like you say... not a profit to collect taxes on a product that sells for more than the taxes yeild, the money has to come form somewhere...

^ Edited my last post.
Also, there is such a thing as a war budget... a portion of the Government's total budget set aside specifically for military matters. If the budget needs to be extended, that has to be approved by Congress. |
