Unlike Bush the junior, Rosy figured out that you actually have to PAY for a war.

That shit ain't free, and there's no discount if you start two.

Rosy also attacked the right country in response.

Wow, 94% tax rate at one time. Ridiculous. Although, I think those tax rates only affected a few people back then.

I'm not rich (far from it actually) but I think it's pretty screwed up to make the richest people pay for everything. Most of them earned their money by being smart and/or by working their asses off. Many of them also learned how to save and budget their money wisely. They didn't get there by squandering their money on toys and other BS, all the while sitting around complaining about being screwed. Sure, it's great of them to give to charity, but to tax them just because they're rich? Nah, that's some BS. Sure, they still have more than most normal folks have, even after being taxed at insane amounts, but that still doesn't make it right. And the biggest bunch of BS is the estate tax. Someone earned a living, saved their money, which was already taxed when they earned it, and now it gets taxed again just because they died and left it to their family. There is some serious BS going on there.
