Bonded For Liberty

Via Atrios comes this silliness involving Ben Nelson and...you guessed it...Joe F'ckin Lieberman.

In lieu of a "war tax" to pay for a troop increase in Afghanistan, Democratic Sen. Ben Nelson (NE) is proposing war bonds.

"We didn't have a war tax in the second World War," Nelson said, and instead the government sold Americans bonds."People invested in their country, in that fashion [and] made a lot of sense back then. I don't know why it might not make sense today, certainly in lieu of jumping to tax."

The idea has the support of fellow moderate Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT).

"I think that's a great idea," he said, "But I think we shouldn't shrink from a war tax in which everybody is asked to contribute a little bit to this effort."

War tax, unpatriotic and evil facism.  War bonds, patriotic and necessary to continue Americans giving infrastructure to everyone but Americans.
