-Caveat Lector- ------- Forwarded message follows ------- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date sent: Thu, 9 Nov 2000 01:54:23 EST Subject: SPECIAL: A Letter That May Interest You To: undisclosed-recipients:; Don Bond, one of our readers sent the following letter to TIME... I followed his brilliant example, but went one better: I cancelled my subscription... keep Five yards, Hack -------------------------------------------------------------------- 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? ------- End of forwarded message ------- <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
