As a letter to the editor (“Party can only pander to voters,” The Herald, April 27) said, liberals are despicable people who can only pander to the masses. They steal from the rich and give to the poor like the villain Robin Hood. They demand justice for the poor, the sick, and the downtrodden like the rabble-rouser Jesus. They are despicable and truly un-American.
Liberals have “ruined” this country with their socialist ideas of public education, public parks, public libraries, public utilities and more. They created Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. They passed legislation establishing the 40-hour work week, minimum wages and worker safety laws. They even have had the audacity to try to protect our air, water and the environment. Where is the profit in that?
But the current Trump Administration is wise to this game. Trump and his allies are doing their best to dismantle and destroy all of these crazy socialist ideas. They live by the Golden Rule: Those who have the gold make the rules. And, by definition, they will never have enough gold.
To get more gold they have given millions of dollars in tax cuts to the rich and pennies to the rest of us. They have opened up public lands to their private development friends. They have struck down or rolled back environmental rules and regulations because why should polluters have to pay for their pollution?
Give Trump and his friends enough time and they will get rid of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and any other liberal program designed to help the masses. Then those born with a silver spoon in their mouth or a hedge fund in their pocket will be free of these pandering liberals and their socialist ideals. And, finally when the day comes, and it will, when the starving masses come knocking on these rich men’s doors of gold begging for a crust of bread, the rich will reply with the famous words of Marie Antoinette and sneeringly say “Let them eat cake.” Donald Trump and his Fox News minions will be so proud.
