government mandated slavery

Disclaimer: I cant take credit for writing this - one of my friends on myspace wrote it. I had heard about the 401K thing - Hubby said something to me yesterday about how he needed to find somewhere to hide his 401K money because we were going to be forced to "spread the wealth" but I hadnt heard about the community service thing.

Change we can believe in. YEEEHAAAA *rolls eyes*


Quote:
Obama's newly selected chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, wants "compulsory service" for everyone from age 18 to 25. What is compulsory service? Basic training (the kind enlisted soldiers go through), civil defense preparation, and community service.

Obama wants all middle school and high school students to serve 50 hours of community service per school year, and 100 hours for college students per year. This makes me wonder what the penalty will be for people that refuse. Oh, but it doesn't end there. Another congressman, Charlie Rangle, plans to dust off a bill after Obama is sworn in, which would call for a UNIVERSAL DRAFT, requiring two years of service for everyone aged 18 to 42, if signed into law.

Obama wants to rewrite the American dream and tell people how they can live their lives. If you voted for "change," I hope you're [BLEEEEEP] happy with your decision when and if these changes do go into effect. This is only the beginning. The land of the free is dead.

Oh, and if you have a 401k (I do), the government is talking about seizing your money. Wealth distribution ringing any bells? Hello?
