Letter to the Editor: It’s just better

It’s just better. And, it must be. Representative Marianette Miller-Meeks says it is; that it is better now than it was 100 days ago with Biden as President. I know I’m better, that’s for sure and I am just as sure you, the reader, are better as well. For after all, it has been pronounced as such by those who should know — our elected representatives.

This is for the reason that she, and others such as her, are fighting for our safety, jobs, and freedom. She does gloat over the SAVE Act which she helped sponsor and we all know about that. I feel a lot freer now than before that was passed. She was also, as she proclaims, present when President Trump acted to protect female athletes from surreptitious males. I’m trying to figure out how this one fits in with “safety, jobs, and freedom,” but I’m working on it.

What is really much better is that President Trump has reversed “disastrous policies.” I for one do not appreciate “disastrous policies” and am glad they are no more, whatever those policies may have been. It certainly is a relief.

And oh! What is to be done? The tax bill of course. Certain groups of our citizens feel it necessary for their taxes to be reduced. These are the citizens who actually have money to pay taxes and they want to pay as little as possible. Those who don’t pay any taxes shouldn’t have a say since they aren’t affected.

Now, the underlying premise of this opinion piece by Representative Miller-Meeks is the idea that her readership, those who would see her pronouncements, don’t know anything. One simply can not agree or disagree with these statements of self-aggrandizement since they are nonsense and have no meaning other than to enhance one’s reputation amongst those who know nothing and will agree to anything.

It is interesting, isn’t it, that our elected representatives act upon the premise that the voting public doesn’t know anything. And, since they continue to be elected, there must be something to it. Anyone who gets exercised by Hondurans electing our president, or one more person coming to our country because there are actually jobs to be filled here, or rich people having to pay some taxes really ought to quit watching TV and find something beneficial to do.
