Anti-Roskam letter shouldn’t have run

Someone told me the Daily Herald featured in the news, “Walsh won’t back off.” I found Joe Walsh to be true to his word.

At that time I was a subscriber to the Chicago Tribune. I knew no such report could ever appear in the Tribune. The next day I canceled my home delivery of the Tribune and I subscribed to the Daily Herald home delivery confident of honest news.

Now, after the Daily Herald published the anti-Peter Roskam commentary in your Saturday, April 30 Fence Post, I’m not so sure. The Daily Herald is just like other newspapers everywhere. The Daily Herald’s slogan is, “Our aim is to fear God, tell the truth and make money.”

Shame on the Daily Herald’s Fence Post for publishing the comment, “Tax the rich, to stifle job creation.” The ability to expand businesses, to create jobs and improve communities and their general welfare for all, if anything, it would be prudent to give benefits to the rich so they will further invest what they have to increase the general welfare of the Republic, as specified in the Preamble to the Constitution. Is the Daily Herald anti-American?

Republicans do not endanger Social Security and Health care for older Americans. Progressives in Congress stole the money set aside to pay for Social Security, unemployment insurance and Medicare. Progressives legislate against the people when they will not allow insurance to be bought across state lines to promote competition. To complain about tax cuts for the rich is just following the brainwashing talking points of the liberal media. Was I wrong to think better of the Daily Herald?

To tax the rich is against the Seventh Commandment, “Thou shall not steal.” I suggest the Daily Herald pay more attention to fearing God.
