If their parents teach them to pay their taxes in a timely fashion, that's enough allegience for me and probably lots of the government to care about. If they stop paying their taxes, they can get out. It's that simple. Hmmm... I sorta like this concept.

People new to this country who want to be citizens should pledge because they never have before. That makes sense. They should do it a couple times just to make it clear they're serious.

I think that once I've pledged a few thousand times, it's redundant. I'm a citizen, was born a citizen, I pledged, my parents paid their taxes (hell, I paid my taxes). Why should it be questioned again? And if I was a terrorist, I could always just lie and go through the motions, couldn't I? So it doesn't matter at this point, and it's really not practical unless there's some special reason.

... I'm curious, why does it make me now hate my country if I opt out of pledging again?
