politicians are revolutionary nutjobsthey have supertaxed housing and landto the point people had to resort to crowdedapartment buildings which is where diseaseepidemics start, crowded apartment buildings are the #1 places where disease epidemics such as influenza SARS and clostridium difficile spread, this illness spreadingwouldn't happen if government stopped taxing land and imposing inflation on housing and just removed housing from the stock market once and for all.

H: Sun Tzu Art of War: " ...for there has never been a protracted (prolonged)war which benefited a country..."---Five years into a war is far too long to drag even a country as wealthy as the U.S. down to the drain! But that was what the former secretary of defense and his right hand man wanted to have the troops staying in the Middle-East to protect Israel forever!---dancewu(dot)net

To answer your question directly, it has been estimated that it will cost over $1 trillion total including caring for our veterans after the war with the hundreds of thousands of wounded and psychologically traumatized youths coming back. Plus add to that the cost of these private contractors who lose piles of cash large enough to see from space. Real money, not digital. We're losing this war, and I'm not talking about Iraq. The war on the middle class.Go to thomhartmann(dot)com

you've hit on a good point there. The problem is that no money has actually been spent, according to our Federal Budget. The money is coming, for the most part, from loans from China and Saudi Arabia. The world is catching on to our phantom money. The dollar is set to crash soon and it's because of our lack of tariffs.

H: How much money spent in the Iraq war every day? for how many years already?---dancewu(dot)net

Our economy is failing because we don't produce anything of value in this country anymore. We've gotten rid of our protectionist import tarrifs and now the Chinese (who are still protectionist... try selling a foreign car there) have flooded our market with cheap labor and environmental destruction. "American" corporations have moved off shores and now only pay about 25% of the total Federal Taxes every year. Meanwhile they use our commons to make money: roads, schools, water, airwaves, etc.

i disagree with you, i will always support the fact land should not be taxed under any circumstance, because it forbids true citizen ownership and enables and empowers political government to own what it pleases, so it hinders peoples right to own land and negates privilege, thus causing societal dependence restraint and homelessness.

lilhourigan: The fact that banks have claims against property because of loans made and because governments tax anything and everything means that they in effect own these things at least in part. The question is what if anything should governments be allowed to tax and therefore own. Certainly our earned incomes from labor and capital investment should be free of taxation. Land value which is completely unearned because created by all of us thus giving rise to land speculation should be taxed.

politicians want to govern peoples lives and enslave them through taxation and inflation. politicians cant govern you if they cant enslave you. A Politician free society is where real freedom starts!

lilhourigan (June 15, 2008 at 6:10 am)

duh back at ya! the ones who rise the cost of land and homes are the ones who FUCKING OWN THEM! BANKS own the homes and political GOVERNMENT owns the land, these 2 mafias work on the same team and with wallstreet so that you never own the home nor the land, stop paying the political mafia taxes and you lose the land and the home EVEN OF ITS PAiD IN FULL. Only those who own tax free land actually own homes and the land! only natives have freedom AND OWN ANYTHING.
