Taxpayers Will Not Pay for Trump's Forever War in Iran
Donald Trump started his illegal war in Iran without a vote of Congress or the consent of the American people.
Over 1,000 Iraqis have already been murdered by our bombs, including children. Now we bombed oil tanks and unleashed a huge toxic cloud over Tehran that could poison 15 million people.
Financially, this war already costs $1 billion per day in direct costs - and Trump is willing to keep attacking forever.
In addition, the price of oil quickly soared over $90 per barrel, which increased gasoline prices by 14% in just one week. Oil prices will go even higher as Trump expands his war.
This will increase the cost of fertilizer and drive up grocery costs while forcing farmers into bankruptcy. The cost of many other products will increase, including plastics and aluminum.
If Trump sends ground troops, it will be just like Iraq - many American soldiers will die and the cost of this war will soar into the trillions.
We, the taxpayers of the United States, refuse to pay for this illegal war.
