My letter to TIME Magazine ...

TO: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

On the Don Imus show (just after 9AM Wed. 11/8) .. Margaret Carlson, from
Time Magazine, said in reference to the uncounted absentee votes that are
thought to contain a substantial number of military personnel that .. it's
too bad that the election might be decided by a bunch of "TAX DODGERS!!!"

She thinks it is just "terrible" that military personnel may have chosen
Florida as the home state of record, because they might pay less taxes
there.

And now it is unthinkable to her that these "TAX DODGERS" may decide the
election!

To his credit, Imus challenged her and expressed that people in the military
shouldn't be characterized like that and that they were already receiving
low pay and that if they wanted to claim Florida as their home for whatever
reason that was their right.

I shouldn't have been, but was totally amazed that even a left wing liberal
like her could say something like that. I have a child right now in the
middle east at a location on high alert because of received terrorist
threats. These people willingly put their lives at risk for our country
every single day and this despicable witch calls them "TAX DODGERS" for
exercising their rights.

One of my best friends and the father of my Godson, left New York and his
business interests here and moved his family to Florida because of the
political climate and the punitive taxes business people have to pay here. I
suppose this honest Vietnam vet is also a "TAX DODGER" because he didn't
stay in New York and keep paying excessive taxes for liberal programs that
this
Margaret Carlson person favors.

I strongly object and am frankly disgusted that anyone, much less a writer
for TIME, could lump together Florida citizens serving their country in the
military as "TAX DODGERS." Right at the moment you read this, many of those
"TAX DODGERS" are out there in service to this nation. Some may be in
difficult circumstances or days away from a fate like the crew of the USS
Cole suffered. Would any of their dead or wounded qualify for Carlson's
demeaning label? I'm sure their families would be comforted to know what
Carlson thinks of them.

How low can you people get?
