Who will pay for the $2 trillion infrastructure project?

Dear Editor, If you are making less than $40,000 a year, then you probably don’t care that single people making over $523,601 pay 37% of their income in federal taxes. Married people filing jointly making over $628,301 also pay 37%. These people make it and can afford to pay it, we often say. What affects someone else doesn’t bother us that much when it comes to income and taxes. Let’s say you are making $35,000 this year but next year you have an opportunity to make $45,000. Suddenly your federal tax rate increases from 12% to 22%. This is a…

Please stop depriving taxpayers of our medications

Dear Editor, It really makes my blood boil when the medical insurance companies, force people to deal with pain. It is unjust and very inhumane, not to mention unethical to make people deal with pain, due to prior authorization. Here is a serious question for the insurance companies to ponder on: Who do you think you are by ignoring our doctor’s request on certain medication? How would you feel if it was done to you? Here are 5 Bible scriptures to look up: 1) John 4: 16; 2) Exodus 20: 15; 3) Exodus 20: 13; 4) Job 2: 7; 5)…

Response to Mr. Jones

Dear Editor, Mr. Jones, yes, I Lloyd Dickson, am a parrot. A parrot who prefers to get his information from reliable trustworthy sources. Sources like virologists, medical professionals, M.D.s, and the like. Not from dubious social media sources here just about anything can be posted anonymously. To suggest I have done no research calls for speculation on your behalf, a hallmark of social media. As a retired medical professional who spent more than 20 years in the field, I can attest there are plenty of lethal substances in medicines which can harm or kill. The polio vaccine contains attenuated (inactivated)…

Why? I don’t know.

Dear Editor, The five Mohave County District Supervisors make new ordinances to get votes knowing all the departments will not be able to handle them because of resources, manpower, and money. Why? I don’t know. The Environmental Department does a great job knowing the ordinances and they aren’t afraid to tell violators who are breaking the ordinances the consequences if they are not followed. Why? I don’t know. The Public Health Department does a great job too, except about five or six years ago a man was bitten by a thousand bee stings and died. They don’t seem to have…
