Speakout

Thank you, Donald

Today is Feb. 17. My daughter just received her Christmas card I sent to her on Dec. 10. Should we thank the Donald for blocking mail delivery to prevent voter fraud?

Stimulus checks holdup

Now it’s Joe Manchin, another Republican who wants to lower the top income limit for stimulus checks from $75,000 down to $50,000. President Biden wants $75,000. By the way, $75,000 adjusted gross income was the upper limit that the Republicans approved in the April 2020 stimulus package. Does Joe Manchin think we are all that dumb? Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but I think the upper limit for adults needs to be absolutely noe lower than $75,000 per adult.

Don’t pile snow by road

Please ask parking lot snow movers to please not pile it so high that you cannot see oncoming traffic from side roads to Malone. It’s very dangerous and is going to cause an accident.

Plan won’t raise all taxes

Every time President Biden has brought up raising taxes, he has always said it will apply only to people making $400,000 and above per year. I appreciate your Speakout entry. I know there are a lot of people who are concerned about that, but this is the Democrat’s plan, over $400,000 income per year. According to leading financial publications, billionaire’s wealth has increased by trillions of dollars due to the stock market, despite last year’s long struggle with the pandemic. Also, many well-known news publications say from 7 million to 8 million Americans have slipped into poverty in 2020 due to the pandemic. That means a family of four, living on $26,200, which is practically impossible in large cities like Chicago and cities on the east and west coasts.
