Dems Want Draft?

Another political maneuver may be under way by the Democrats in the House before they take control in January. Charles Rangel, D-NY, has said he will consider once again proposing (that's right, he proposed to reinstate the draft before the House earlier this year and was shot down) legislation to reinstate the draft. A Democrat wanting to start the draft? Aren't they supposed to the pacifists? Don't they consider the draft to be evil and ok for a person to dodge? Yes, but that doesn't mean they can't propose it and lament about "Look at how bad the situation is. Elected officials who know more than the common person feel it is necessary to have the draft." Ok so you won't here them say they know more than the common person, but just read any leftist/socialist persons writings and it is part of their philosophy. Is this like Democrats refusing to vote on a bill covering an increase in minimum wage earlier this year so they could use it as part of their platform in the election? Just think, people who work for publicly owned companies could already be making more per hour if the Democrats didn't play politics and instead did what was best for the people.
Oh but the Democrats didn't want to vote for it because it only targeted public corporations (like McDonald's, Burger King, JC Penney, etc.) and not little mom and pop five and dime stores. Just imagine a family business that barely breaks even (that is usually how it works you know) has to pay each employee nearly $2 more per hour over the entire year. That equals nearly $4,000 dollars it pays to the employee and to the government each year. So how can the mom and pop shops do this? They can't. It would lead to massive layoffs in the private sector (the only sector that has grown in the last 15 years). But where is the media? Where is the coverage on ABC or the New York Times asking Mr. Rangel or Mrs. Pelosi why they didn't vote to increase the minimum wage for some workers? Where is the grilling of Hillary Clinton for not pressuring members of her party to help "those dissadvantaged" in society? Oh, wait, that is assuming the media is unbiased. And I forget, I can't do that.
So would the Democrats vote in crease the minimum wage for private businesses? I wouldn't doubt it. After all, it leads to more layoffs which leads to more people forced to live off of government (welfare, food stamps, housing stipends, etc.), an institution the Democrats want to grow larger and have greater economic control in people's lives. If you control their wallet and their food and their shelter, they are sheep you can lead to the slaughter.
