Everyone one is in some way.. Or were you going to draw the line in the sand and say only people that use certain government services are not allowed to vote?
Snowgood listen to this as well. I didn't say those that disagreed with me shouldn't get a vote. And your right, I don't like it as a sledder. It's like all these folks on here that don't belong to a club, WSSA or attend a grooming meeting but they want to complain about the snowmobile program
if your not trying to make it better, then you don't have the right to complain.
Maybe I didn't make this as simple as it sounds in my head.
If I were king for a day, my first order of business would be to enact a law stating that anyone who does not contribute "as in pay tax directly to the government" and who still draws aid from that government dispite not having a contibution "as in welfare/unemployment/foodstamps/etc" would not be allowed to vote.
Please don't go a twisting what I'm saying. I'm saying this.
If you benifit from the circle, you owe your allegance to that circle.
When nearly half of the people that are going to vote in an election that has direct input on the benifits that they receive, there is NO WAY it will be a fair outcome.
It would be like wolves and sheep voting on what's for dinner . . . .
I have been employed and payng taxes for 37 years. I have been very fortunate in that I have never needed foodstamps or unemployment or other government aid that is meant to make up for a lack of income from my work.
My Wife and I work VERY HARD and still are careful. My truck is 6 yrs old. Her daily driver is 8 yrs old. We don't have tv service, we don't go on cruises or live beyond our means in other ways.
We make payments to ourselves and then pay cash for a car/toy. We NEVER borrow money to pay for a toy.
We owe zero to anyone for anything.
Further, we worked long and hard at two distinguished military carreers (combined service of 43.5 years) and now stand to see both our retirements and medical benifits gutted.
I love this country and I give back to it, my state, and my community every single day.
Twist my words all you want, at the end of the day;
"I believe that everyone should contribute. If you don't, then you don't get to make choices on where our country is heading until you do contribute."
FLame all you want. But flame based on what I DID say, not what you heard based on your own personal bias.
