War Tax

Congress is considering a proposal by Rep. David Obey (D-WI) to levy a war
surtax to help fund President Obama’s Afghan war strategy. The graduated surtax
would impose a 1percent tax on most Americans that rises to 5 percent on
wealthier citizens. The White House estimates that the effort would cost roughly
$1 million per soldier or Marine per year.

For
Rep. Dave Obey (D-WI)

"...Democratic members introduced legislation today that would end the
practice of paying for the war in Afghanistan with borrowed money by imposing a
war surtax beginning in 2011. ... Regardless of whether one favors the war or
not, if it is to be fought, it ought to be paid for ... If we don't address the
cost of this war, we will continue shoving billions of dollars in taxes off on
future generations and will devour money that could be used to rebuild our
economy..." - Press Release 11/19/2009

Against
Rep. Tom Price (R-GA)

"No, I think [a war surtax] is as cynical as it is irresponsible. The fact
of the matter is the protection of the American people is the number one
challenge, the number one task for the United States Congress. It ought to be a
priority in our budgeting process. … A penny on the dollar will get us hundreds
of billions of dollars in order to accomplish the priorities that we ought to
have for the American people. And one of the priorities absolutely has to be and
must be the protection of our land and degrading the resources that Al Qaida
has." - CNN Interview 11/30/2009
