Corporations and the Rich Should Pay for Trump's Hideous War—Here's How

Corporations, however, do not tolerate reduction in profit... so whatever they have to pay, they will reclaim by pushing up prices and slugging the poor even harder. Slug the billionaires directly. Musk has stolen enough wealth from the population he can afford to pay for the entire war personally.

Israel and AIPAC too.

How about not waging needless wars in the first place? How about not waging wars for which there is no tangible benefit for regular citizens? MANY of our lawmakers benefit from war, as they have investments in the military industrial complex. They are not going to mar that status by doing as this author suggests--i.e., forcing THEMSELVES to pay for the aftermath of wars that should never have happened. Our lawmakers are part of the elite that this author would like to see pay for war. these "endless wars" are for the benefit of the corporations that get the spoils of war, including the contractors who "rebuild" after the destruction. What have we citizens gotten from war, other than some of our family and neighbors coming back in body bags, so that others can profit? And all of us--inflation as these wars are paid for with debt.

Seems like a perfectly reasonable suggestion. Such a move might also motivate the rich to dissuade those in power from ever starting wars.

Common Dreams is a big part of the problem. Every election, they push for the Russian Green Party.

There should not be any war at all

I think they that much in petty cash.

Just like Putin is asking his oligarchs this week !

No one should be funding any war right now

Hard disagree. The war should be paid by everyone in a flat tax and then we would have 100% disapproval
