The Hill: Reports on the move by Congressman Obey to raise taxes by 1% on those that ear over a hundred and fifty thousand dollars. This is not about the cost of the War folks, its about Liberals in Congress finding that Afghanistan has joined Iraq as a bad war. The use of costs is a smoke screen, do you see Liberals being concerned that they will bankrupt the USA with their health care reform plan, this not so subtle attack on the Afghan War is a warning to the Obama White House that Liberals can not be pushed around, the problem is that in the real world the base of the Democratic Party is the African - American vote, thus liberals will have to support their President, or face problems back home in urban areas. Also Republicans will support the second Obama surge to Afghanistan, it has to be noted that you don't raise taxes when your economy is in the toilet, that is basic economics folks.
