Anyone else in favor of a war tax? Money levied across the entire population to fund our wars and strict rules set in place to only spend that money on said war.

I'm down. Make it a progressive tax and reinstate the draft.

In my opinion the best way to stop ISIS is to break them apart.
ISIS consists of 3 big Groups.
1. Arabic people recruited and trained in the region
2. Locals in Iraq and Syria who are forced by their Clan chiefs
3. Europeans recruited in Europe and trained in the Arabic training camps.

Break #2 apart with proper politics in Iraq welcoming all religions and Clan structures. (Money)
Break #3 apart with Imams trained in Europe supported by religous figurheads in the arabic region. So we do not have the few idiot Imams who get a cultural heart attack once they arrive in Europe and let it out at our youth. Imams providing a proper friday prayer in prisons would do wonders as well looking at the usual recruitment ways. (Needs Money as well)

No need for foreign armies when #1 is all on its own.

Where ISIS reigns, no nations need to exist at all. Most of them do not want the imaginary borders that the West has on their maps anyway.

The region will always be poor. The World cannot dump enough money into regions of the world with horrible climates void of resources besides narcotics and oil.

No. What you are looking for are War Bonds.

Yeah, that's what the rich say in those countries.

The problem is the poor see no way out of their plight so they turn to radicalization and murder in the name of their God. Muslims ain't any different from other people. Give them a reason to live, stability, opportunity and $$$$ and you'll see how quick Allah turns from death god to a brand of sweets.

Wow lol. I like how you just dismiss resources like oil so casually. There is no reason for Iraq, Iran, or Saudi Arabia to be poor, oh wait, Saudi Arabia isn't poor! Iraq is a disaster because thats what it chose to be, should they ever choose to be wealthy, it could happen overnight. That region is far from poor, you are just not informed, as usual.

I don't dismiss oil, but I have no faith in the World liberating itself from the Middle supply so long as psychotic environmentalists particularly in America refuse to let us use our own resources.

Oh yeah, I guess I should throw in a taunt at you right at the end of this post.

Not sure, but given the choice between Hedonistic Disaster and Catastrophic Utopia, I'd probably pick Hedonistic Disaster.

Your "faith" does not change the fact that the Middle East is far from a poor region and your "plan" has no basis in reality.

If the world no longer needed Middle East oil would they still be far from poor?

The problem with bonds is that the government is still on the hook for that cash with added interest just at a later date.

I also wonder if a tax was instated how it would affect the general populous' support for the wars we wage and how it would affect politician's positions.
