When there is no impact to the average american, then war seems like a good idea!

When your ass or your sons or daughters ass HAS to go to war and you are paying 10 cents more per gallon of gas you become a little more engaged.

1. Problem with the gas tax
Is that when the price of gas goes up, so does the price of everything else. Half the reason the economy is as fucked as it is, is because Chimpy nearly tripled the fucking price of gas while he was in the White House, and though it receded a bit from $4.00/gallon it's still a lot higher than it was before the Supreme Court put that piece of shit in office.

2. It's true
I'd love to see this implemented - couch potatoes don't care if the neighbors kid dies needlessly, but charge 'em an extra dollar for something! :yoiks:
