My Letter to Greta Van Susteren of Fox News
Hey Greta, Was listening as you read a letter to Newt Gingrich from a viewer in opposition to continuing the tax breaks to the wealthy. You showed an unbalanced regard against this point of view that a wide majority of Americans hold.
You know that we are ruled by an oligarchy in this nation that disregards the will of the majority. For example, Americans had to scream and shout, out of frustration over the health debate this year, yet the Congress passed it anyway. The great majority of Americans do not want Latins flooding in and taking jobs and govt. benefits, however both parties in Washington that are controlled by the rich, look the other way.
You are part of that machine and you got bent out of shape by that letter. Yet, I've seen you are on our side in the immigration matter.
The tax deferral is only temporary. It is due to expire. At no other time in American history have the wealthiest had such a low tax rate as they do under these Bush brackets.
The gap between rich and poor continues to grow deeper, due to the greed which controls the political process. "United We Stand Divided We Fall"!
Many have been Blessed financially, yet many more have not! You can say, 'Oh It was hard work', but millions have worked and strained, yet come up with little except what Uncle Sam is able to help with.
It is a give-away to the Rich if these low rates are continued, and Our Nation can not pay for It!
It is the height of vanity and ignorance when fourteen percent of Americans live below the poverty line, to then take government revenue and pass it to the wealthy so they may buy another home in the mountains or at the beach.
