Imagine turning 47, and waking up to find that all of the labor put in and sound financial decisions you have made since you were 17 have suddenly been erased, because someone else thought they were voting for "freedom". You probably wouldn't feel very free. If that doesn't pique your self interest, perhaps the realization that some or all of that was going to be bequethed to you, left in your care, or made available to you through commerce....would.
Some of us just went through this a few years ago, when the equity we'd built (and rely upon to run our businesses and/or source consumers) was eradicated, and we didn't even get to vote on it. Do you think we would have done it to ourselves if we -did- get the choice? I guess we like to think that we wouldn't...but then again....
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
