It seems to me that if you were a true conservative, you would quit your job and return all the income you made back to the US Treasury.

Let's be practical, though. I am sure it would be impossible for you to 'return' all that money, but why didn't you QUIT and work somewhere else, six years ago ?

Well, six years ago, I was being recruited by DOD. I had 4 yrs in the Marines with a 5 point preference (Beirut, Lebanon, 1983) plus 3.5 years with the Dept of Navy after exiting the Corps. The process was moving SLOWLY.... My “recruiter” steered me toward SBA which was on a vet hiring frenzy. They waved $85 Gs in my face and I couldn’t say no.

Sure, Jesus, or a far better man than I, would not work there, and I realize that, but what can I say?
