Dear Editor,

Hey Lloyd, once again you addressed my comments with typical liberal rhetoric instead of addressing my issues. And, just like your friends in the liberal media, you interpret my responses and then regurgitate them to support your myopic view of conservatives.

I never said or indicated in any way that “well-offs” shouldn’t pay their fair share. I said (in essence) that anyone who thought that only the “well-off’s” are going to get stuck with the bill needs to renew their subscription to “Fairies Live Among Us” magazine.

Regarding the Patriot Act, if there’s a provision contained within it that authorizes the hiring of 85,000 new IRS agents to keep us all honest, please enlighten me. Would also like to mention that said act was a direct result of losing 2000+ souls to a terrorist act. It wasn’t put in place to nail me with taxes to subsidize programs that I don’t get to take advantage of.

My original issues remain the same: they are with Liberals who believe the falsehoods the Biden Administration (yeah, inflation is because of Covid, not because of the fuel surcharges we’re getting nailed with due to Biden’s immediate cutoff of oil pipelines and the fact that he’s paying people to stay home) are promoting, along with said administration’s embrace of a level of surveillance that is normal in Communist countries.

You didn’t ask a conservative a difficult question. You took everything I said and bent it around to fit your narrative. Liberal Media 101.
