If Rangel wants the people who vote for war to feel the burden, he should advocate that there be a draft just among the members of Congress. Not their children or family members - the members of Congress themselves. After all, it's not like his concern is anything to do with military readiness.
Sure we can have a "war tax," whatever that is. Except that would just encourage politicians to do what they are already doing, which is to pretend we are not at war by calling it something else. And since really we are almost continuously at war, we can expect whatever the war tax consists of will just become commonplace and become part of the normal budget over time.
