Letters to the Editor

Edi­tor:

Our devi­ous politi­cians are say­ing we should be more like Europe (in case your school his­tory did not tell you, the colonists left Europe).

One of our mis­sion­ar­ies is located in Europe and sent this info about socialism:

•You must have your I. D. with you at all times

•45 – 65% income tax – high is for self-employed

•20% sales tax

•Trash & recy­cle ser­vice taxes – over the high cost spe­cial bags

•Yearly “lux­ury” tax for TV/radio con­nec­tion + ser­vice fees

•High tax on fuel

•Auto tax based on size & weight of vehi­cle any engine over 1.9L much higher

•Social­ized health/medical care based on avail­abil­ity – NOT QUALITY

•Pay for health care up front, then insur­ance pays back what you are “enti­tled” to

•You get a bill for the less-fortunate peo­ple in your prov­i­dence (not optional)

•Very few police­men patrol the street

•Many work the sys­tem for their own benefit

•Fire & police depart­ments have fund rais­ers to operate”in the black”

•Many crimes go unre­ported – noth­ing will be done

•Immi­gra­tion has utterly trashed the economy

•Food prices increas­ing rapidly

•Unem­ploy­ment over 10%

•You have to choose your career path at 14 years old.

•Live in the city – keep your guns locked at a shoot­ing club

•Live in the coun­try – must have proper paper­work to own guns

•Paper­work – every­thing in qua­dru­pli­cate because gov­ern­ment struc­ture. It is so com­pli­cated that the dif­fer­ent branches have seri­ous com­mu­ni­ca­tion problems

Does this list sound famil­iar? Like what the Obama Admin­is­tra­tion is aim­ing for.

The pres­i­dent claims Amer­ica is the best coun­try in the world, but is push­ing the trai­tors in the gov­ern­ment to destroy every free­dom that our fore­fa­thers gave their lives to protect.

How long do we sit like the frog in the slow heat­ing pan?
