we break the chain of stupid.

One candidate, Klobuchar I think, has put forth the idea of required
federal service. Because, I.M.H.O., at the time of the American
Revolution, there existed a large population of sympathisers dedicated
to the Crown's goal of making us a subservient to the British Empire.

Just because those seeking freedom from these ties won, us, the good
guys, the advocates (republican surrender monkeys, each and every one)
continued efforts to serve the Crown. Left unchecked as they were, they
bred their discontent generation after generation.

And what do we have now? Most people go to work. Relying on their
job performance and pay checks to better themselves and those around
them.

While other folks strike out on their own. With reliance upon their wits
and efforts to survive. Income was realized from hunting, farming or
other non-formalized employment. Which only deepened the drive
of individualism.

As the population grew more reliant on society as a whole and contributed
to societies growth and its success. Whereas, the Crown Loyalists
(individuals/entrepreneurs) sought to retain every penny they got their
hands on while limiting their contributing to society to the point of relying on
society to pay their way in one fashion or another.

Recall the arrogant notion foisted upon us by the Crown Loyalists
(republicans) that, "through their hard work, individual and/or entrepreneurs
are the job creators not the government.
" That the American Government
NEVER created a single job remains one of the biggest, if not THE biggest
lie the republicans ever told Americans.

There are few jobs, if any, that exist that cannot be linked directly to
societal (governmental) creation. The government funded the development
of every technology we have witnessed. The government has paid for each
and every highway and road that provides for the transportation of all
goods and services. The government educated the population and work-
force of this country.

The Government, for the majority, means each and every one of us
that pay taxes to support its function and rely on its continuity and growth.

To the republicans, the government, us, you and me, firmly support
the idea of "I'm not in favor of abolishing the government. I just want to
shrink it down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub." (source;
Grover Norquist)

So it is a real easy choice;

Would you rather a voice in governance?

Or would you prefer to be "drown in a bathtub" by those (republicans)
who unapologetically live off YOUR contributions and taxes dollars made
to our government, while spending the same money, OUR money , to
promote the destruction of OUR society and OUR future?
