Actually, when all is said and done, the war in Iraq is going to cost somewhere around $3 trillion. (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/03/07/AR2008030702846.html)
And also, going back to the original topic, I wanted to know if you guys knew that the top 1% richest people in America own over 40% of the nation's total wealth, yet only pay 33% in taxes. It's unbalanced, and history has shown that Reagonomics does NOT work.
Wealth does not "trickle down," it "concentrates up."
