Taxes have been increased for every war the United States has fought, with the exception of the war against Mexico in the 1840s. Or, to put it differently, I have heard it said that this is the first time anyone can remember the US cutting taxes during war. is wrong. And, as I stated earlier, I am going to defend keeping the cuts in place past 911. They should have been stopped there. "The weak economy contributes only a small fraction to the deficit"--- Eh? Then why are so many states that DIDN'T cut taxes having trouble? Your turn to prove your statement. ========= It was from a WSJ article. States have lost income with the downturn plus they've lost federal money for various programs plus they've had added security costs. I guess every state is different. Eh? You hardly proved your statement there. Nice shot at vague guesses, but certainly not proof. laura_bush wasn't vulgar on this thread, I don't know about the rest of the site. Did you read those links I posted? You ought to know about the rest of the site now. ANd that's just a small sampling of her work. She had a justly earned reputation as the most vulgar poster on the site.
