Every time America enters a war, there has been a tax increase to fund the cost of soldiers and equipment mobilization. The equipment required to mobilize in Iraq, is the largest war expense in American history. And yet there was a tax cut on the top two percent of Americans and no other tax increase? Currently America owes between 600B-1 trillion dollars to debt, along with our weakening economy. Of this debt 48% is owed to China and Japan. To make up for this deficit and still maintain a state of war, McCain would have to cut almost every program in the US government. Why have these tax cuts at a time of war? How do they make any economic sense and why should we have them?
