The Taxman Cometh
Suppose the Bush Administration were to re-introduce the Draft? And suppose you were eligible (and given that the Army has recently raised the maximum recruiting age for the Reserves and the National Guard to 39, you may be more eligible than you think)? Would you participate? Would you consent to killing (let's be honest: slaughtering) for the State?
If your answer is, "Yes," and you've not yet enlisted, perhaps you should do so at this time. If your answer is, "No," or, "No, even if it means being locked up," then another question follows:
Would you consent to paying your Federal Income Taxes, even knowing that roughly 50% is allocated to the military? That is, would you consent to financing mass murder for the State, even though you were willing to spend time in jail in order to avoid physically participating?
If so, why?
If not, and you're not already a War Tax Resister, then, there's no time like the present!

Assuming we don't invade any more countries, do you think there will be a draft? Also, do you think this is a sign that they won't invade Iran? -- Posted by: Jim on April 15, 2005 12:18 PM
