Thank you for your Service.Funny you mention the age they left. I left at 17 and enlisted. I have always been right leaning. The sooner one is responsible for ones self is the sooner they realize they have become conservative. Lol
They did not and do not have a choice.
Both of my kids became economic conservatives when they got their first paychecks and were shocked how much had been extracted. Both are now employed, tax paying citizens and own guns. They enjoy more aspects of city living than I ever did so there is that difference.
Did you have to get emancipated? That’s what I had to do at 17?Funny you mention the age they left. I left at 17 and enlisted. I have always been right leaning. The sooner one is responsible for ones self is the sooner they realize they have become conservative. Lol

I’ve long advocated for this. It was an evil genius that invented employer withholding.Taxes are 'hidden' because they are taken out of the paycheck, before you get it.
It shouldn't happen that way.
Should be required to pay a bill each month, just like other bills.
Then, people might see what they are paying.

Well there is that and the fact they are taken out of gross and not net. That would of course be a tax on a tax. And we all know what a problem that caused.Taxes are 'hidden' because they are taken out of the paycheck, before you get it.

No, my Father and then I signed the enlistment paperwork. We are all August baby's and turned 18 while in basic.Did you have to get emancipated? That’s what I had to do at 17?
The FED. Is the greatest crime ever committed on the American populace and the American people. You can search my posts and see I’ve said it a lot. I can buy ~2 gallons of gas today for a quarter. A real quarter. Don’t care which party is in power. They are all the same commie bastages with their own interest in mind. NONE of them care about America or Americans, they only think about themselves.1913:
* 16th Amendment, "The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."
* The Federal Reserve System, "The Federal Reserve System was created on December 23, 1913, when President Woodrow Wilson signed the Federal Reserve Act into law. The system is composed of a central, independent governmental agency--the Board of Governors--in Washington, D.C., and 12 regional Federal Reserve Banks, located in major cities throughout the nation."
