Tax on Millionaires

Democrats are proposing benefits to veterans which I whole heartedly support, but I disagree with how they propose to pay for it. Instead of taxing millionaires why not tax families/individuals that are not sacrificing for the war effort? Increase the tax on all individuals that are not directly related to someone who has served our country since 2001. Or to make things really complicated (as if our tax system is not complicated enough) do a graduated tax for how far removed someone is from the war. For example if someone has served in the Global War on Terrorism then they get no tax increase (should actually get a tax break), then if someone is directly related to someone then they get a less tax increase, all the way to where if someone has no relation to anyone serving then they get the largest tax increase. For the Global War on Terrorism, only a few Americans are sacrificing anything for. It is time that the rest of America begin to support the war effort by supporting the brave men and women who serve.

Please note, that I am against the national income tax in general and support a national sales tax but that is another post.
