Dear Editor, Colossians 1: 23-29: “If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister.

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…
