I'm simply letting Glen's absurd nonsense fall of
its own weight.

Yeah, I've been taking that approach with Glen as well. The more he
rants, the more ridiculous he sounds.

Are you not submitting to servatude/rule of others by paying taxes?

I would not pay so much if I were not forced to. And if I felt the need
to give to my country lots-0-cash, I assure you I could do a better job
of spending the money then the politicans/govt. does.

BTW I joined the military to travel and go to sea, I could have made
more money elsewhere.

Joe,

If your neighbor came over and demanded 45% of your pay else he would lock
you up or confiscate your possessions - in some states it would be legal to
shoot him.

If several of your neighbors came over and did the same, it's still theft.

If the majority of the people in Texas did that to you it is still theft.

Only legitimate government has the power to tax. It is a delegated power in
the Constitution.

The Constitution also gives Congress the power to "raise and support Armies"
and "To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into
Execution the foregoing Powers,"

A draft at some times is necessary and proper to raise an Army.


What is striking is that the Democrats heavily favor a draft and higher
taxes. Why do they always want to punish people who have comitted no crime?

It's really ridiculous, they condemn the people they send off to war and
they condemn the rich whose money they steal. Why aren't they condemning
themselves for the absolute power they seek?

The Democrats are all about forcing others. Ever hear a Democrat in recent
decades call for lower taxes and more individual freedom? Do they even
mention individuals? They do, but in a negative connotation - "some
wacko-individualist type" or "some selfish individual".

In all this campaigning what have the Democrats stood for? Withdrawal from
a war they just voted us into? Making life simpler and better for Americans
by restructuring the tax code? School choice?

The Democrats are in the back pocket of special interests, particularly the
interests of dying antiquated, dead end ways - teacher's unions and unions
in general, anti-globalization lobby, pseudo science with man causing global
warming and the ozone hole, big government (except for self defense) and a
host of other ridiculous causes. Their solutions are not the get-dirty,
let's fix them type but rather the throw money feel good type.

Look into the junk drawer on your work bench. That is the Democrat party. A
hodge podge of special interests and odd pieces that should have been
discarded a long time ago. There is no unifying philosophy or message except
"we are against the other guys", "we are for more taxes", "we will punish
you", "you should not drive that car". Why such underlying guilt? Why such a
need to control? What kind of people are these? It's a party run amok by
emotion and very little thinking.

Joe, this election is very important. The Democrats haven't offered an
alternative, they just want to punish. Pull that lever for the Republicans.
Eventually the Democrats will offer us a better choice, but they aren't now
or in the near future. The Democrats are running on Republican failures, not
on Democrat strengths.

Get everyone you know to vote Republican.
