The Patriot Tax: Support a Soldier
Support our troops returning home. Draft and pass a Patriot Tax, in effect a sponsorship for every returning soldier. Direct these funds into a massive jobs program to rebuild America's infrastructure.
Why is this important?
The nightmare of the Iraq War is finally coming to an end. Our soldiers will need jobs--lots of jobs, here at home. It's time to start serious investment in our own country's infrastructure if we want to thrive in the 21st Century.
Every member of the fortunate, wealthy elite who have reaped, either directly or indirectly, so much profit from war must now pay their fair share in support of those who fought. The time has come for a Patriot Tax, in effect a sponsorship of every returning soldier.
America is lagging far behind the rest of the civilized world in technologies such as high-speed rail, renewable energy, and even simple road and bridge maintenance. While we have been destroying and rebuilding overseas, America is crumbling.
Do not allow our brave soldiers to come home to yet another nightmare of joblessness and despair. We can support our troops and rebuild America at the same time. It's the moral, patriotic thing to do.
