13. Those who WILL serve.
Meaning certified COMMUNITY SERVICE. Do your weekends for a couple of years cleaning up the freeways. Instead of "...serving the country on Wall Street..." you get to be a teacher's aide in the inner city (PAID of course).

There are hundreds of ways this service could work, but if you opt out of Service, military or otherwise, you should not be able to participate in the franchise.

So what if it's ridiculous? Should rich parents be ALLOWED to "gravy train" little Buffy and Tad because they don't want to get their hands dirty?

OK, FINE. Then DOUBLE THEIR TAX RATE and limit their deductions. Surely that's fair?
