Dear Editor, Please don’t think I am against paying taxes, because I’m not. But certain politicians seem to think taxpayers should be overwhelmed with paying tax. If you take the time to look at your bills, they read state, city, and county, in addition to the taxes you pay on food and clothes. Here’s some food for thought: with all the taxes we all pay into, why should we taxpayers have to pay extra? It is unjust to overtax when others are deprived of justice and kept from serving their country, etc. I say, enough is enough! We taxpayers are…

Dear Editor, Life is short. The best we can do, is the best we can do. If we are doing our best, then what more can we expect from ourselves and others? Most people are doing the best they can with the information and abilities they have.   There are some things we can change and some things we can’t.
