I had this thought running through my head especially considering the fact that 97 percent of all taxes are paid by half the nation. Granted, as a college student who has yet to find better than a part time job, I fall in the non-taxpaying side. HOWEVER I don’t intend to rely on a welfare state my entire life.

The thought that came to my head was this: an old poster from the WWII era reminiscent of the new deal. That was of uncle sam holding a rifle in one hand and a garden hoe in the other. Up top, a fitting label: “Work, or Fight!”

I’ll say this is very appropos for the anti-war folk. I’ll say no more.
