I'd give up my tax cut for the life of a fallen soldier.
That's what my new bumper sticker says. And instead of being on the side of the back (where I did have a sticker), it's smack dab in the middle of the back, right where anyone and everyone can see it.

Thanks to another DUer for the inspiration for it.

1. If I got a tax cut, I certainly would....
in fact, I'll gladly make a donation to a veteran's organization, without the tax cut

6. I remember getting a check a few years back for $200 or $300.
I'd give up more than that for the life of a soldier, actually.

4. Nope.
Haven't even gotten so much as a middle finger in all the time I've had my anti-bush stickers (Bush Lies, People Die).

My husband thinks because I drive around with a Purple Heart plate and an A&M Association of Former Students sticker, people who are into stereotypes just get confused.

:rofl:

7. My bumper stickers are the DU one and a "I'm proud of my Eagle Scout"
So, I know what you are saying.

3. You are both mighty brave and a saint.
If it would save lives, yes, I'd give up mine also.

5. I'm certainly not a saint.
And I've been driving around with "Bush lies, people die, how many lies can you take?" for months now. Not even a middle finger. Just some thumbs up, smiles, waving.

8. I would, and debated that a lot....
The few RW that i, well, that i get yelled, has told me if i don't like Bush i should give back my tax cuts/breaks, and i'm like what tax cut? I got 300 bucks, when bush was giving our future away to the rich, and the select few who "qualified" for the tax return. I told these RW's that i would glady pay that 300 back, if they brought the troops back, and of course, i was hit with, yeah right whatever, no you won't. And i responded by saying, a soldiers life to me, is worth more than 300 bucks, how dare you laugh at me. That shut them up. I also added, if you support this war, go join up and put your life, where your mouth is. And of course, they didn't.
