National service equals the 16th amendment.

From his bio...

Steve attended the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis and graduated from Brown University and New York Law School, cum laude.

He co-chaired Hillary Clinton’s White House Task Force on early childhood literacy...

He is definitely NOT A CONSERVATIVE.

How about are-emplimenting the mandatory draft and require minimum two year service after boot camp.

I don’t trust Republicans to enslave and convert our children to statism any more than Democrats.

Politicians always try to promote their laws in a good light but the most important question to any use of government force is what happens if someone doesn’t comply?

Especially when it comes to this *Mandatory* National Service Program, people need to know what fines and/or jail awaits.

Every single federal law should automatically be greeted with an “Or else what” sarcastic inquiry from skeptical citizens verbally challenging politicians.

A mandatory draft prior to 1973 was a good thing.

I would like to see us return to it — with men only — many an underprivileged man was raised up by the draft, then able to use VA benefits after service obligation to better himself economically.

I respectfully disagree. Although life can be cherished under slavery, that does not make slavery righteous. And no man who is born an heir of the Blessings of Liberty is "underprivlidged".

I don’t call the draft “slavery.”

I call it serving your country, something I doubt you ever did.

Cya.

If you think slavery makes a better citizen you should move to China. I fight and die for my many childrens’ freedom NEVER for a religion of statist tyranny.

And Alan Dershowitz, the great constitutionalist defender of civil liberties thinks the state can plunge a needle into your arm any time and with anything it deems necessary.

It’s working very well with the first army. See DC. It’s not enough for our volunteer servicmen to sacrifice time, blood, sweat and tears, now they must endure critical race theory and transgenderism too.
