If the USA Is a Union, Pay Your Dues
3/6/2007 10:53:06 PM
Each year, the President gives a State of the Union address. I wish he would talk about those who do not want to pay their Union dues.
Many get teary-eyed when they think of their country. But all too often they are the ones who refuse to pay taxes. Oh yes, the Star-Spangled Banner plays, they cry. But when soldiers need money, they seal up their wallets. The easiest thing to do in our Union is to pay your taxes. This money is your union dues.
Certainly, watch how the money is used, but pay. You are not a soldier. You do not give up your life for your country. You merely pay for others to sacrifice their lives while well-equipped, well-medicated, well taken care of. So, pay up. You're in a Union.
