Subject: "Economics of Iraq Spending, Taxes, Social Security" created on 08/06/07 by editor
Because of Pay Go, any additional taxpayers' money for
Iraq ($2.5 Billion/week now) or the Pentagon must be
approved along with spending cuts or an increase in
income taxes. Therefore, raise taxes by five
percentage points on corporations/businesses and
individual income including dividends and capital
gains for those citizens earning more than $250,000
per year. Real after tax income for corporations and
these more wealthy individuals have increased
substantially since the Bush tax cuts while the
remaining income earners' real incomes have been
stagnant or have declined. Corporations/businesses and
the wealthy Republicans elected Bush; make them pay
for his mistakes and spending extravagance. Stop
spending the Medicare and Social Security Trust Fund
on fraud and corruption in Iraq and stop adding to the
USA $9 Trillion debt.
