Bloviating Zeppelin: You Want Soldiers?

Bloviating Zeppelin

(in-ep-toc'-ra-cy) - a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.

You Want Soldiers?

Note to the Bush and subsequent administrations:

You want soldiers?

Make all serving soldiers or honorably discharged veterans and their families absolved of any and all federal taxes, having served.

Period.

With the Demo-rat controlled congress it will ever happen.; Sat Jun 30, 01:19:00 AM PDT

TexasFred said...: I wonder?? Can we make it retroactive?? You know?? For the REAL vets?? I wouldn't wanna see FAKE vets or professional and paid writers getting it... Just sayin'...; Sat Jun 30, 01:55:00 PM PDT
Bloviating Zeppelin said...: It's just a thought, dear readers. But just like anything done, things must be done well. If we are indeed looking for just that extra little inch this country needs in times of crisis, the FIRST class of persons deserving of our benevolence should be our WARRIOR class, the class that keeps us SAFE and SACRIFICES for the good of the whole.

bigwhitehat said...: This makes some economic sense as well. Veterans do not make up a huge portion of overall tax revenue. And anytime you put money in the hands of the earner, good things happen in the economy.

Think about how many folks opt not to serve for economic reasons. This idea cuts to the quick of that problem.

Let me take you one step farther. Offer federal guaranteed student loan debt relief. That would be a deal closer for plenty of 19-25 men who dropped out of school to support a family.; Sat Jun 30, 06:23:00 PM PDT
Bloviating Zeppelin said...: BWH: you should be an economist. Money, generally, that people save in various expenses and taxes get, remarkably, sent BACK INTO the economy in terms of purchases and savings and investments.

Imagine that.

Bloviating Zeppelin

: Name: Bloviating Zeppelin; Location: Sierra Nevada Mountains, Fornicalia, United States

A former Democrat in my tender and ignorant youth, I am now a Conservative first and, these days, quite a distant Republican with a dash of Libertarian mixed in for good measure. I believe in God, the strength of America, the brilliance of our Founding Fathers, the valor of our military, and the need for Leadership in all forms and on every level. I am not an advocate of censorship as I believe everyone on the Far Left has a God-given right to be painfully stupid -- as I have a right to expose said stupidity.
