War surtax proposal

As I was sufing the web today I came up this interesting article about increasing taxes to pay for the Iraq war. Here is the link to the article if you would like to read it.

 Basically what they are proposing is to increase taxes by 2% for low and middle income families and raise taxes by 12-15% for higher income families. Ok, I don’t like taxes, in fact I can’t stand them along with most people. I think they drag our economy down by taking money that would have been spent by the American consumer and give it to a wasteful government that has the worst fiscal responsibility I have ever read about, seen, or been witness to.  They just can’t seem to get enough of our money. I already work 4 months out of the year for them, how much more do they want?

What makes me even more irritated about this, besides just the taxes, is that this proposal is from the Democratic party. Aren’t they supposed to be against the war and trying to bring the troops back? I don’t understand this logic! Let show our distain for the war by finding a great way to fund it, I like that idea. I know they are just trying to make a political statement, but seriously, it’s things like this that just make me want to bang my head on my desk. What political think tank, or group of politicians can possibly come up with ideas this bad!
