Readers Write: Responding to Tea Party ‘nuts’ and its allies

The Island Now

Enough, enough, enough. 

The Tea Party nuts and crazies and their GOP allies are bringing down our democracy and the world economy. 

How silly can you get? Dr. Morris, are you more concerned about taxes than the health of our country and the millions of people – mainly women and children- who are homeless and hungry?

Let’s resolve our problems and return to sanity. These are my suggestions for resolving our dilemma.

1 – Stop taxing homeowners

2 – Tax individuals making over $250,000 to support our schools and local government.

3 – Tax corporate billionaires like GE, Verizon, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan Chase, Citibank, etc., who pay little to no taxes.

4 – Stop subsidizing big oil, sugar and defense industries.

5 – End the wars and killings that make the military industrial complex wealthy. The Iraq and Afghanistan wars have cost taxpayers nearly $2 trillion.   

6 – Close our bases around the world for a savings of $100 million per day. 

7 – Mr. President, tear down our walls and fences.

8 – A living wage for every working person throughout the world will resolve the immigration problem. Workers at Walmart and McDonalds need a living wage of $15 to $20 an hour.

9 – Medicare for all.

10 – Free higher education for all. The G.I Bill gave veterans an opportunity for free education that produced a vibrant middle class.

11 – Thirty hour work week for all workers.
