Tax Disconnect

I am amazed by conservatives (and even some liberals) who, throughout the protracted Iraq War, have advocated tax cuts. How can anyone in their right mind support spending for a foreign war without paying for it? If one approves of government expenditures for whatever reason, then it follows that they should support taxation equivalent to the expenditures. Case in point: Tax refunds are obviously money that the recipient has been able to do without. If tax rates were higher to support the cost of the Iraq War, the amount of refunds would be less. This tells me that people can afford higher taxes, while all along they are claiming the need for a tax cut. Let's get real and put our money where our mouth is.
