Well, you did it again. Your reprinting of the Washington Post editorial on Thursday supporting the appointment of Susan Rice and the nomination of Samantha Powers as U.N. ambassador was mind-boggling. Ms. Rice is a proven liar on the Benghazi scandal. Ms. Powers has a long history of being anti-Israel and supporting international law over United States sovereignty.
But, this is not the main point of my letter. With the admitted and proven abuse of power of the Internal Revenue Service against American citizens, why don’t you write an editorial supporting a change in our federal tax system that would actually benefit Americans? I am talking about a flat tax. Wouldn’t it be nice if our state became a leader of something positive for a change? The tax return could be done on a postcard. Gross income minus a couple of standard deductions; the rest taxed at a flat rate for everybody. The left is always talking about fairness, and what could be fairer?
Wouldn’t it be great if the $500 billion per year now spent on an out-of-control bureaucracy could be reallocated to creating jobs and on our infrastructure. What say you?
