Njengoko u-Aprili 15 isondela, musa ukwenza iphutha: Imali yerhafu eninzi kuthi siya kuthumela kwi-Rhulumente wase-US ihlawula iidrones ezibulala abantu abangenacala, ukuba "zilungele" izixhobo zenukliya ezinokuphelisa ubomi bomntu emhlabeni wethu, ekwakheni nasekusebenzeni ngaphezu kwe-760 ezisiseko zemikhosi kumazwe angama-130 kuwo wonke umhlaba. Siyacelwa urhulumente wethu ukuba anike inkxaso yokuziphatha kunye nezimali ekunciphiseni iimali zenkxaso-mali kwizikolo zezingane zethu, iinkqubo zokuQala iNtloko, ukuqeqeshwa komsebenzi, ukukhuselwa kwendalo kunye nokucocwa, iinkqubo zabantu abadala kunye nokunyamekelwa ngonyango kubo bonke ukuze urhulumente ofanayo asebenzise Ipesenti ze-50 yazo zonke iirhafu zerhafu kwiimfazwe kunye neminye yemali yenkcitho.

Umfazi wam uJan kunye nam siye saba ngabahlaziyi berhafu bemfazwe ukususela kwimfazwe yaseVietnam. Asikwazi ukuhlawula isazela esilungileyo sokubulala abantu bezinye iindawo zehlabathi.

Ingaba kunengqondo ukusebenza imihla ngemihla uxolo kunye nobulungisa kwaye uncedise intlawulo yosuku olunye ngeveki yemfazwe nokwenza imfazwe? Ukuze uhlasele iimfazwe, oorhulumente badinga amantombazana nabasetyhini abazimisele ukulwa nokubulala, kwaye kufuneka ukuba sonke sihlawule irhafu ukuze sihlawule iindleko zamajoni, amabhomu, izibhamu, iibhamu, iinqwelo kunye nabaphathi bezindiza. Iindleko zeemfazwe nje ezilwa ngoku zikho kwizigidigidi zeedola.

Ukwandisa, sikwazi ukuqonda ukuba ezininzi iimfazwe zisekelwe kubuxoki - izixhobo zokubhubhisa iIraq, iGulf of Tonkin eVietnam, kwaye ngoku i-al-Qaeda emva kweentlanga zonke nakwilizwe lonke urhulumente wethu ufuna ukuhlasela.

Njengoko urhulumente wethu usebenzisa iidrones ezibulala amawaka abantu abangenacala, senza iintshaba ngakumbi, ngaloo ndlela siqinisekisa ukuba siya kuba neemfazwe ukulwa ngonaphakade. Imfazwe yokulwa ne-communism yayisisiseko sokuba yonke imishini yethu yempi. Ngoku ke yimfazwe yentshutshiso. Kodwa ingxaki kukuba yonke imfazwe yongqonge. Kuphela kuxhomekeka kukuphi ukuphela kwesibhamu okanye ibhomu okhoyo. Umntu onobukhulu bomntu onobukhulu-nkululeko ngumnye ugqirha lomntu.

Ngeliphi ixesha thina abantu abafuni ukusebenzisana nale mihla yokuziphatha okubi, engekho mthethweni neyengenangqiqo? Urhulumente akakwazi ukulwa nale mfazwe ngaphandle kweedola zerhafu kunye nenkxaso yethu yokuziphatha. Kwaye ndiyathetha ukuba ukuba iPentagon ithumele abantu ngaphandle kwendlu ngendlu ukuba ifune ukuba negalelo kwiimfazwe zayo, izithuthi zomoya, i-drones kunye neentshukumo ezintsha zokulwa, ininzi yethu ayiyi kuba negalelo.

Abanye abantu bathi i-Internal Revenue Service inamandla kangangokuthi iya kufumana imali nakwii-akhawunti okanye i-akhawunti yebhanki, ngoko yintoni enyanzelisayo yokwenqaba ukuhlawula ipesenti ze-50 zentlawulo eziya kwimfazwe? Impendulo yam kukuba ukuba i-Pentagon kufuneka ithathe imali esiyilungiselele ukufaka isandla kwizikolo kunye nemibutho esebenzela uxolo nobulungisa, ubuncinane asikhokhanga iimfazwe ngokuzithandela. Kwaye ukuba izigidi zethu zavuma ukuhlawula irhafu yethu yemfazwe, urhulumente uya kuba neengxaki zangempela ezandleni zakhe. Kuya kunyanzeliswa ukuphulaphula.

Njengoko umongameli weNkokheli uNikexon u-Alexander Haig wayekhangela iWindows House iwindi kwaye wabona abangaphezu kwe-200,000 abachasi bemfazwe behamba, wathi, "Bavumele bahambe yonke into abayifunayo ukuba bahlawule irhafu."

Ukuba ilizwe lethu libeka i-10 ipesenti yemali esiyichithayo kwiimfazwe kunye nemali yezempi ekwakheni ihlabathi apho wonke umntu ekhusele khona, okwaneleyo ukutya, ithuba lokufumana imfundo kunye nokufikeleleka kwonyango, sinokuba lizwe elithandekayo kakhulu ihlabathi - kwaye ikhuselekile kakhulu. Kodwa mhlawumbi ukunyanzela ngakumbi ngumbuzo wokuba sinokuthi sinembeza siqhubeke sihlawula ukubulawa kwabanye abantu size siqhubekele kwinkqubo yemfazwe kubo bonke abantwana behlabathi.

Ukhetho lwethu. Sinethemba ukuba abaninzi bethu baya kujoyina inani elinyukayo labantu abenqaba ukuhlawula inxalenye yerhafu ehlawula imfazwe kwaye iqondisa iirhafu zabo zokurhoxiswa ukuze zinike inkxaso kwiimfuno zabantu kunye neemeko zendalo.

Umfazi wam senza uxhathiso lwentlawulo yemfazwe ngokunciphisa ipesenti ze-50 zeerhafu esizibolekileyo kwaye sizifake Fund of Life's Fund. Le ngxowa igcina imali xa i-IRS ibamba i-akhawunti yethu yasebhanki okanye i-paycheck kwaye iyayibuyisela yona ukuze sibe nemali yokuzalisa oko i-IRS ithathe. Inzala kwimali kwi-Fund's People's Life ibenegalelo kwimibutho yoxolo nobulungisa kunye neenkqubo ezijongana neemfuno zabantu kuluntu. Ngaloo ndlela, nje ngokuba i-IRS isishiya yodwa, imali esiyifuni ukuyihlawulela iya kwindawo esiyathanda ukuyibona. I-IRS inokongeza izigwebo kunye nomdla kwizinto esizikweleta zona, kodwa kum mna inani elincinci lokuhlawula ngokungafuni ukuhlawula ngokuzithandela iimfazwe kunye nobukhosi baseMerika.

Ngolunye usuku, sinethemba lokubona i-fund ekhethekileyo eyenziwe nguRhulumente ngokwabo kwabo abangenako isazela esivumelekileyo ukuba imali yabo isetyenziswe kwimfazwe, njengaleyo I-Campaign kaZwelonke yeNgxowa-mali yokuThumela uxolo lichazwe. Okwangoku, kukho ezinye izibonelelo malunga nokuchasana kwentlawulo kufumanekayo IKomidi yokuHlulwa kweRhafu yoNyaka yeSizwe.

Ukuba isazela sakho siyalathwala, ungafuni ukuhlawula i-$ 1, i-$ 10, i-$ 100 okanye i-50 ipesenti yentela omele uyibuyisele yona, kwaye uthumele iincwadi kubameli bakho abakhethiweyo kunye nephephandaba lakho lendawo uchaza isizathu sokuba wenza njalo. Kwipesenti ze-50 zentlawulo endikuhlawulayo mna nomfazi wam, senza isheke kwiSebe lezeMpilo kunye neNkonzo zoLuntu endaweni ye-IRS kwaye siyithumele kunye nefomu lethu le-1040. Siyacela i-IRS ukuba yabelane nazo zonke iimali esizihlawulela kwiinkqubo zempilo, imfundo kunye neenkonzo zabantu.

Ukuba izinto ezinjengalezi zinamandla ngokwenene, kunjalo, kufuneka senze ukunyanzelwa kwemirhumo yemfazwe. Sifanele sifikelele kubo bonke abantu abafuna ukubanceda ukwakha ihlabathi elinokuthula kunye nelilungisa, abantu abangakholelwa ekubulaleni abanye abantu, abantu abakhathazekayo ngenxa yokucutha okukhulu kwiinkqubo ezijoliswe ekuhlangabezaneni neemfuno zabantu ngelixa umkhosi ufumana isabelo seengonyama, kunye nabantu abadiniweyo bokuhlala phakathi kwendawo yobukhosi obangela ukufa nokutshabalalisa kwabo bemi endleleni. Ukuba bonke okanye abaninzi abantu abavakalelwa ngale ndlela bekunqwenela ukuhlawula imfazwe kunye nenxenye yempi yentlawulo yabo, siya kuba nenkuthazo eninzi eyayingenakuvalwa.
