Fighting Terrorism: Are You Doing Your Part?

Paying taxes is everybody’s responsibility, that does mean everyone.
One of my biggest peeves is hearing about someone working a job here in America and getting paid cash rather than being on a legitimate payroll paying taxes.
People who don’t pay taxes may be part of a bigger problem. Why don’t they pay taxes? Are they a felon working a job they shouldn’t be working? Are they dodging law enforcement for some reason? Are they in this country illegally? Are they a dead beat parent dodging the child support system?
There is no good reason for not paying taxes.
We live in a country that needs money because of our country’s debts. The hundreds of thousands of people in our country that don’t pay taxes are a part of this problem, and partially to blame for this. Everybody needs to pay taxes.
It is your duty to report people who don’t pay taxes. It’s not fair that the people who pay these taxes keep getting tax increases because of people who don’t pay taxes.
Felons with guns:
Felons with guns are very dangerous people. Felons are not allowed to have, use, purchase or sell firearms. Felons are not allowed to have access to firearms or live in homes or apartments where firearms are kept. (or firearms are not allowed in homes or apartments where felons live)
If a convicted felon has possession of a firearm, this is usually a sign of something very wrong and dangerous. In such cases it is a sign that a felon is not done being a criminal and is currently involved in criminal activity that is bad enough to warrant the individual to carry a firearm illegally, making the individual very dangerous.
Anyone knowing of a felon who has a firearm should do what is right, … NOTIFY LAW ENFORCEMENT!
Drug Activity:
Drug activity is overwhelming the American streets now days. Some of these drugs come from here in our own country and some of the drugs come into the country from other countries. Wherever there are drugs there are guns and other weapons. Wherever there are drugs, there are people worse off in life than they could be. By this I mean the people with the addictions. The people who will spend their last dollar to get a fix of what they are hooked on, … rather than spending their money on their family, bills and food for their own well being and nutrition. Some addicts unfortunately resort to other crimes to get by, and by their drugs. Addicts can quickly resort to steeling and selling stolen items. Addicts also resort to selling their own bodies for the pleasures of others.
Drug activity is one way to spread illness and diseases. This comes about by the poor hygiene of the addicts and the way addicts share drug materials and supplies.
Where there is drug activity, there is violence. Wasted people with short tempers getting into fights or drug dealers defending their turf. Violence is violence. Any violence related to drug activity, is violence that wouldn’t be, if there were no drug activities.
As a civilized people, we as Americans have a duty to report drug activities. By cracking down on drug activity, a difference in other crimes should be noticed long term.
Anyone who is tired of seeing the late night news broadcasts showing shootings, drive by shootings, children being shot by mistake in drug neighborhoods or drug parents abusing children can help change this sorry fact of life. We have to cooperate with law enforcement. Report drug activities to your local law enforcement.
Did you know that if you turn someone in for drug activity, … there is a 50/50 chance that you may be turning the police onto someone who already has a warrant out for their arrest anyways. A 50/50 chance! That’s what you call killing two birds with one stone. This can’t happen without the involvement of the people.
The items you just read about in this article are just a few things that anyone can do to fight terrorism, starting at the level of our own streets.
