Are you stupid, or is it your imaginary friend? Rangel said he wants the draft, so that the children of rich Republicans, especially those in Congress wont dodge a war, as they have been doing without a draft.

Answer 5

Because in America, people get to express their views under the US Constitution. It is a basic right that should continue. Never let anyone tell you different.. . If you don't agree, you can put your views forth as well. That's how democracy works. Each side hears the other sides, they share and then get to agree or not. But each side grows from listening and learning.. . Congressman Charles Rangel is making a symbolic statement that young men and women who are poor are worth just as much as young men and women who are rich. Let him play out that thought and watch what happens. If you want your views to be heard, write him or your other leaders. America should go back to being involved and not just complaining and going back to sleep.
