Taxes Taxes Everywhere

Whats the latest?

I hear now there is thought of charging a surtax to pay for the War in Afghanistan. If this happens I wonder how long it will last. Since most of the people of the United States do not read the constitution much less hold the Judicial, Executive, and Legislative branch to its tenants I'll bet it lasts longer than Article 1 - Section 8 of the Powers of Congress clause of the constitution allows.

Constitution of the United States of America - Article 1 - Section 8 Powers of Congress: To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two years.

Freedom of Speech

So President Obama chastises China for censorship of the media. He states he has many critics in the United States but that is what makes the Country of the United States a great nation. If that is the case why is he wanting the fairness doctrine put in place.
