Dear Editor,
In response to Lloyd Dickson: “Democratic President Joe Biden thinks anyone making over $400K per year should, perhaps, be asked to pitch in and pay a little more.”
Sir, what flavor is the Blue KoolAid? Asking for a friend because they want to be sure and stay away from it. You are aware that part of this $3.5 trillion package “Social Joe” is trying to ram down our throats contains a provision that will allow the federal government to access personal bank accounts for transactions of $600 or more, correct? And you do further realize just how small a threshold that is? What part of this do your Dem brothers and sisters not understand that would lead you all to believe that only rich people are going to have to shoulder the extra tax load? These goons are already in our back pockets…you’re OK with them being in our bank accounts too? What color is the sun on your planet? Wait…I know! It’s Blue! And before you say, “If you’re not cheating you shouldn’t be worried,” I would remind you that this is exactly how the people of China justify being surveilled by their government every day.

Dear Rick, the package is over a 10 year period. It includes things like. Infrastructure to improve things like roads and bridges. Oh and improve the power grid so we don’t get screwed out of electricity in winter like Texas did. The total expense is far less than spent on military. Perhaps if Bezos and friends paid legitimate taxes it wouldn’t be such a big deal.but I realize you are still counting on them trickling down some wealth to you. That will happen with the sun turns blue.
