How you like to share a foxhole with somebody who puts money before country?
How would you like to share a country with a bunch of sheep who don’t care that the government is confiscating an ever-increasing share of their wealth?
I resonate with your argument. But here is my counterpoint-- "Is it really your country anymore?"
America, as we knew it, was founded by people who left tyranny, persecution, and/ or poverty in order to be free and prosperous. But if the U.S. government now oppresses, persecutes, and impoverishes us-- what then? Obama's transformed "Amerika" will not be the country that I was/ am willing to die to defend.
I am ashamed to admit that I have been having thoughts about becoming an ex-patriate-- even though I served this nation as an Army officer. But where would one go?
If Obama is given a second term and his socialist fellow travelers regain control of Congress-- we will be finished. I think that then we will be facing a revolution and/or civil war within a decade.
Would I like to share a foxhole with somebody who puts money before country? Probably not, but that isn’t the issue. The issue is that we have a crap tax system that is causing certain wealthy people to leave, which actually leads to less revenue for the government.
