The war is going to be a reality, sooner or later. Do you want your taxes to pay for it? The right answer is not "No, I don't want a war at all" because the war will be a reality sooner or later. It's not called looting, it's called "spoils" and the winners are entitled to them. It's not as if we would take assets to enrich our coffers like some pirates. The goal would be to simply pay our expenses. The more I think about it, the more I like the idea. It's going to be floated and debated.

No change ,, I believe i stated somewhere you could put a tax on each barrel of oil sold... I never jumped into taking the oil away from them to pay for the war... There will be huge investments to be made from outsiders, either russia, france , usa.. etc.. to rebuild the fields and start up new fields.. This is going to take time.. Of course I do not think we should pay for the war... This country is rich in oil and over time should repay us.. Why not start off with a tax per barrel? Be nice... It's football day.. Happy to see someone read my posts.. thanks for not putting me on ignore. g
