White House doubles price tag for Iraq. We have to help.

Not that this should really surprise anyone, but http://www.statesman.com/asection/content/auto/epaper/editions/thursday/news_f3653ef8a4c5426c00be.html.

There’s no going back. We’re chained and we all gotta pull. My suggestion: war, no wait, scratch that, FREEDOM TAXES!!!

[li]Increase the tax on gasoline, maybe fifty cents or a dollar.[/li][li]And bottled water.[/li][li]Salty snacks maybe?[/li][li]Plywood[/li][/ul]

If it was ever worth it, none of this should be too hard to swallow. So, what are your suggestions Dopers?
And I’m aware that polling is better suited to IMHO but it seems any thead concerning Iraq will always end up in the Pit or GD. Mods, if this somehow remains civil please move as you see necessary.

Paper, paint, lead, glass, and tea.

How about Bush holds a fund raiser where US citizens can pay $500 to kick him squarely in the nuts.

If Wolfowitz joins in, it would raise that much more.

4

If I had five hundred dollars, I’d pay for that.

Cool.

5

Window tax! Window tax! Window tax! Window Tax!

6

I guess they forgot to caryy the ‘1’

Whoopsie.

7

And I forgot to preview.

8

Most excellent idea. But does it have to be restricted to US citizens?

I’m just saying :wink:

9

Only $500? I think people’d pay $10,000 or more for a nice boot to the Bush boyz…

10

Wonder how E-Bay will handle the bidding?

11

I have a better idea! Let’s impeach Gee Dumbya, and do what we should have done in 2000…elect Ralph Nader!

Then, our tax dollars will be used for worthwhile things like education and health care, instead of for death and destruction.

12

Don’t ever…ever…say that name in my presence again.

Ralph Na-der Slooooowly, I tuned…step by step…inch by inch…

And as far as the OP goes, double? If only.

13

turned. Slowly I turned. You knew that, right?

14

I’ll donate money if GWB donates half his campaign war chest for 2004. Which, given the amount of money he’s raised already, isn’t unreasonable. It’s not like he has any primary opponents.

15

How about a special assessment tax on lonelocust, Elvis, MrTuffPaws, Guin, MC Master, NutWrench twice, RedFury, I Love Me, JerryBear, and elucidator three times, thanks for your contribution!

16

A tax on posts that claim a liberal conspiracy of the SDMB to ban conservatives would have made some bucks lately.

17

Institute a new tax on duct tape and plastic sheeting, then just call an Orange Alert every week or so.

18

We should never-ever-ever cut non-critical spending. Nope. The only alternative is to raise taxes.

19

How about $500 to kick Brutus and Bush in the nuts?

Must…resist…joke…already…have…enemies…
