A black guy wants slavery :confused:

So long as it's for people he thinks are less than human.

[awake]

Say what? Slavery is ok when it is other people who get enslaved?

[torchbearer]

selective service for the congress and administration only.
they want war, they go fight it themselves.

[messana]

Enjoy the war then Mr. Jackson.

[RM918]

Oh, wouldn't that be wonderful. They throw out the draft notices, tell you to mail them back. If you agree that the war is necessary, check 'Yes', and you'll be conscripted. If you don't, check 'No', and you won't.

agreed. only those who lust for war should die in war.

Jesse Jackson doesn't know his history. Normally the poor were more likely to be drafted by not having access to the different deferments. He is just trying to make headlines and at the same time working to make America more oppressive. Remember that this is the same cad who would spit in White people's food.

Jesse Jackson: Let’s Start The Draft So We Can Send Rich People to War
Jesse Jackson is 110% retarted... we already had this and this is how it resulted:

George W. Bush
http://archive.democrats.com/display.cfm?id=154 (http://archive.democrats.com/display.cfm?id=154)
Dodging Vietnam and with two years left in his six-year obligation to the Texas Air National Guard, 1st Lt. George W. Bush was mysteriously suspended from flight - and never again reported for a single day of duty

Dick Cheney
http://www.slate.com/id/2097365/ (http://www.slate.com/id/2097365/)
How Dick Cheney dodged the Vietnam draft with 5 deferments, then used Liz Cheney birth as final dodge.

Here's a whole list of Politicians/Wealth that had Dodged War/Military Service even with a Draft.

you did that on purpose, right?

[Todd]

Well. Smedley Butler thought that if war was to be waged, then the entire community should be subject to the same wage that the soldier in the field gets. I like his concept that everyone be subject to the costs of war. But that was also in a day when the draft was the norm.

[RonPaulCult]

I say we only draft people who have "liked" either Bush or Obama on Facebook. We need young soldiers, and all of the young are on facebook. If you "like" either of those two - you surely support the wars right?

Another brilliant idea from yours truly. You're welcome!

HA , HA , Jesse Jackson ....

[Stary Hickory]

No what they need to do is take all budget costs for the war, add it up and issue a war tax (flat %) to everyone of us. That way we pay for the war directly right here and right now. I wonder how many neocons would be pro-war when they saw their income personally affected by it.

The problem with the wars is the backdoor funding of them. Just like the rest of the government.

I'm sure all of his relatives didn't even blink an eye. ;)

They did that with the Spanish American War in 1898... they ended the tax to pay for the war in 2006, but local calls are still taxed... it created this monster and tax history since 1898.

[Stary Hickory]

I'd still rather see a law passed where it made it so that wars must be financed directly from the people. Fooling the people about the actual cost of the war is immoral and shows that the government is conducting wars it knows are not supported by the people.

[BlackTerrel]

So long as it's for people he thinks are less than human.

Yeah that's not really what he's saying.

He's basically making a point that the rich people aren't going to war. I don't think he really wants a draft.

[mczerone]

Jesse Jackson doesn't know his history. Normally the poor were more likely to be drafted by not having access to the different deferments. He is just trying to make headlines and at the same time working to make America more oppressive. Remember that this is the same cad who would spit in White people's food.

Not to mention mobility. Taxes are already pushing the wealthy out of the country - imagine if they were threatened with a draft.
