I have been looking into whether a war tax should be put on the people. There is a War Tax Resistance group, but this doesn't really do the trick. I think it was Carl Levine (?) that wanted to tax the rich to pay for the wars. None of this goes anywhere. If a direct war tax was put on the people when any conflict of bombings and taking out other people's leaders occurs, the people would be directly taxed for it. It could be voted on. If an actual attack by an enemy state occurs (which hasn't occured yet) then the military could be activated immediately to respond, and then an independent council could determine if it was legitimate or a false flag. Corporations making millions and billions off the wars could be taxed at 70%...which might make them think twice about it.

The way it is, the military is part of the budget, which creates this climate of irresponsibility. Of course, to get such a tax would require Politicians that worked for the people, not corporations. So, maybe these War Tax Resisters might be on to something better....but it hasn't gone anywhere, requires people to hold back a portion of their taxes, but, people are too scared of tax collectors, courts and jail. So I think some kind of direct special tax should be levied on the people before we invade anyone.
