For those who support the war in Iraq?

Rick

Very much...what also bothers me a lot is our stone age health care system, the cost of higher education, our lack of a good ground transportation system , esp in the west. So much could be done here in the good ol usa, if our priorities were reset, following the example of other industrialized countries. War doesn't really solve that many problems..and the losses as a result are irretrievable...It should be entered into as an absolute last resort, and corporate interests shouldn't be the reason.

Can you cite an example of raised taxes since the war in Iraq began?

Rich B

Yes, but not nearly as much as it bothers me that our taxes are spent on the support of lawbreakers who are rewarded for breaking the law by getting tax refunds based on lies. It bothers me more that we are turning a blind eye while this nation is bankrupted by illegal immigrants who thumb their noses at our laws, our natural born citizens as well as those who took the time and trouble to become legal citizens.

Did they raise taxes? I thought they cut them. Maybe the dems will raise them.

Schools are funded primarily through local and state taxes, neither of which are affected by the war.

But if you ask me, I wish they'd cut everything. Then when the Iraq war finishes, I'll owe no taxes!!!

It's better than children being killed by terrorists

Does it bother you that Bush had to fund the school social programs that Bill clinton previously cut to acheive his "surplus"? Or are you a hypocrite?

Bush has given more money to education than any previous president in history, so stop with your false accusations.

you gotta be kidding me,LOL I'm sorry did you type something?

Ever wonder how the parents of the school children in Russia who were shot to death by Islamic radicals would have felt about cutting a few programs or raising their taxes in order to provide more security?
Priorities.

Shouldn't it bother you that when historically when the left is in control we pay the most in taxes... oh guess what there already hinting about raising taxes again....

I'm pretty sure that innocent Iraqis were dieing before we entered the war. And please, I'd love some figures on Iraqi deaths since every dem talks so horribly about them. My guess is that they don't even have a number. But yes, its a sad effect of war. But war is the only way to get the job done. Remember the inspections, negotiations, etc.? No dem seems to want to hear the truth... only what they hear on TV.

N O, because they have not raised any taxes or have they cut any programs in the school systems of the USA
for this war!!!! Where are your sources or links to this question????

AMERICA ROCKS

Just look at what this war has done to me.

There will always be war among humans because there are always people that want to be top dogs and be in power for life. People like Pol Pot, Stalin, Idi Amin Dada, Saddam Hussein, Napoleon, Hitler, Osama Bin Laden are willing to commit mass murder to obtain and retain power. One of the hopes in Iraq besides getting rid of Saddam who we had good reason to believe would do anything he could to hurt the USA was that we could establish a system that would prove to be our ally and help in the long struggle of the war on terror. But how could the Iraqi people trust us when half of us are screaming to bail out? Why would they help resist the insurgents when we might abandon them to be slaughtered by those insurgents just like we abandoned the Vietnamese to be slaughtered by the Vietcong's be. All that thanks to the leftists who insisted that the USA withdraw from Vietnam. I feel sorry for the Vietnam vets because they suffered the greatest betrayal any soldier ever suffered from any country throughout history. People like Jane Fonda are either the biggest fools ever or the most despicable sleazy traitor.

also add a hiring freeze and budget cuts on the majority of posts

mike b

nope

rgrahamh2o

No because if you let them get on with it and leave them to there own devices, there may be no schools or children safe over in America or the rerst of the "free world"

yeah sorta kinda, but my school has been improving alot so it doesnt really bother me... what bothers me is that from the cold war that there are still subs at the bottom of the ocean with waste in it leaking into the ocean but russia will not clean it cause it was the USSR and they are russia and us the americans will not clean it cause well arrogence.... and sending crap to space when we have to much going on here on earth like global warming and wars to solve.... and just sending garbage to space and leaving it there... education is doing fine

ramshi

It did not bother them when 3000 of our country's mothers/wives/children incurred irreplaceable loss (of our soldiers). It did not bother them when several hundred thousand innocent Iraqis died. Why would mere taxes and children's programs bother them ?
