LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

Double standard favors Biden

I find it interesting that the term “Make America Great Again” is detested by some people yet President-elect Joe Biden’s vow to “fight like hell by investing in America first” is acceptable to them. Isn’t this the same sentiment coming from two different mouths?

Furthermore, Biden says his transition team would help create “an economy that gives every single person across America a fair shot and an equal chance to get ahead.” There are many anti-discrimination laws on the books dealing with race, age and gender, so what is Biden planning to add or subtract that will make things more “equitable” while still keeping capitalism roughly intact? Or is he planning on rendering capitalism obsolete?

He also says, “We got to figure out how to work together — otherwise we’re in real trouble.” A sudden plea for togetherness now that the shoe is on the other foot? Funny how compromise is in vogue as long as it’s the other guy who’s doing it.

In the meantime, America will be waiting to see what rabbit Biden pulls out of Uncle Sam’s hat to fulfill his campaign promises. And just how much it will cost us.
