what sacrifice have you made
Published on November 12, 2004 By erichelp In Politics

The war on terror will continue for years as our front line military personnel make the ultimate sacrifice to protect our nation and our freedoms. On 9/11/01, all Americans witnessed the tragedy and results of a war environment. Three years later, we choose to debate, debate, debate, and debate whether the war in Iraq is justified or is war in general justified. The ugliness and brutally of war stared us right in the face on 9/11, and could very well happen again. It seems debating the issue of war is more important than are making personal sacrifices to win the war.

The cost of war is enormous and yet our Government has not asked us to personally share in this cost as our nation’s deficit funding for the war continues. I feel our Government should impose a supplement war tax on working American’s to accomplish 1) the personal sacrifice that we all must make to win the war on terror and 2) this would help in reducing our Government’s deficit funding now required.

What would you do? Are you ready to make a personal sacrifice?

This is my two cents for the day.
