LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

GOP opposes the middle class

When Republicans are in power, they attempt to do five things: lower taxes on the wealthy, shift the tax burden to the middle class, undo regulations on industry that protect our environment, roll back consumer protections for the middle class, and pack the courts with judges that will further those interests.

Each of these things has happened in the past two years. No one reading this can name one thing conservatives have done that benefitted the nation as a whole and, at the same time, wasn’t a complete sellout to the wealthy interests of this nation.

Not in your lifetime, not in the past 120 years, can anyone point out where conservative policies did something for regular people. If you’re a Republican who makes less than $400,000 a year, I can’t begin to understand your motivation at the ballot box.
