Letter to the editor:

Avarice of the poor will ruin us

I was interested to read Brian Greenspun’s Oct. 28 column “Will America correct its mistake?”

I agree with Greenspun’s opinion that the United States is on the road to oblivion, however I do not agree with his reason why.This situation is not due to President Donald Trump (as much as I dislike the man), but rather to liberals’ cynical attempts to buy votes. 

Liberals are promising Medicare for all — even though Medicare is rapidly going bankrupt. They promise free college and a guaranteed annual income, plus more and more free goodies.

There is simply no way that the U.S. could fund all these giveaways. You could take all of the money that the rich have and that might be enough to pay for one year of these freebies. Then what would you do the next year, when there are no more rich to take money from?

Democrats are exploiting the greed of the American people.The downfall of the U.S. will be because people have learned to vote themselves a paycheck, and liberal politicians will do nothing to stop it.
