FEEDBACK: Rebutting column called “The recoil of hope”

To the editor:

I worry about an America where everyone expects the government and the working taxpayers to guarantee them at least a $15/hour job (but don’t expect them to work overtime or have good attendance), child care, food, housing, health insurance and the latest iPhone!  But then they don’t expect to pay taxes or want all of it refunded with Earned Income Credits!

I worry about an America where all immigrants, legal or illegal, terrorist or non-terrorist, should be free to cross our borders!

I worry about an America where a Democrat [sic] candidate for president can willfully lie in her previous government role and expose classified emails, but is still allowed to run for the most important position in our country!

I worry about an America where so many citizens and columnist like you are so narrow-minded to believe we can continue to rack up TRILLIONS of dollars in debt and never see the consequences!

Race relations have worsen [sic] under a black president who has always quickly taken sides with Al Sharpton before he knew the facts!  And he came to office to bridge race relations and offering HOPE!!
