Interesting you are speaking of the
The Revenue and Expenditure Control Act of 1968 which was a temporary surtax of 10% which then fell to 5% and then 2.5%? See PDF below.

I knew libtards like you would jump on this as your "gotcha", but please go back and read my question. I said "START" a war.
What year did LBJ escalate activities in Vietnam? 1968? Now I don't want to get in a debate about who started Vietnam, or when specifically it escalated. I will be generous to your stupidity and give you the benefit of the doubt that LBJ didn't escalate Vietnam until
June 8, 1965, when he committed to send U.S. ground forces to South Vietnam.
So it is clear that LBJ escalated/started a war without raising the funds to pay for it. That surcharge tax didn't come until three years in.
EPIC FAIL on your part. Want to try again puddin? Or are you going to threaten to stalk me like you did 007?
