Presidents don't affect every job
In reply to Mr. Stastny (Fence Post, Aug. 29), as an atypical Republican speaking for myself, I am not better off than I was under big Bill Clinton's presidency.
Unfortunately for me and many of my former fellow workers, the company that I worked for for 37-plus years fell under the control of some less that honorable people.
Be that as it may, I merely pointed out in my Aug. 28 commentary that the IRS indicates that the incomes of Americans are better now than under President Clinton's watch. (Something that Democrats do not acknowledge).
Too bad Mr. Stastny and I were jabbed by the fickle finger of fate.
