I think a prerequisite of going to war should include a significant tax increase on American citizens. Also, the wars should be voted on by the people. CMV

I think that the idea of going to war, and lowering (or keeping taxes the same) doesn't work and leads to unfunded wars and debts. I think it would make citizens think more about going to war if they knew it was going to affect their day to day lives. I also believe that all wars America wants to be involved in, need to be voted on by the people. CMV.

In answer to your second point, why don't we have votes on every new law? Surely the whole point of having politicians is that they're experienced, knowledgable individuals who make the decisions that are too complicated for most people to understand?

The average person simply doesn't have the knowledge and experience to deal with the extremely complicated web of decisions and consequences that a war involves - a trained military official does.
