But raising taxes in a recession is a sure fire way to turn it into a depression.

But raising taxes during war time to pay for the war also makes sense.

Cutting taxes for the wealthy during wartime makes no sense.

1. The less wealthy pay a bigger share - giving up a bigger wedge of the pie.
2. Going into debt means future generations have to pay.
3. Debt service is ongoing.

Those that favor war, should at least step up and volunteer to pay more to set example.
