I would like to take the ’70′s SNL skit where Chevy Chase responds to Jane Curtins point with the same response on every topic. “John you ignorant slut”. I think that covers it.

The wealthy have insufficient influence in politics especially when obama can spend a trillion dollars on entitlements. How do you compete with that when what you are offering is a job?

I wonder how many Indian reservations (total govenment dependence) were not included in the totally biased media report intended to paint conservatism as stoneage ideology? Not that Mr. Garon would ever question a media source that specializes in telling him exactly what he wants to hear. This so-called reporting is like the global warming fraud. They determine the outcome before they ever do the study.

Have you ever heard of Detroit Michigan? It is a bastion of liberal democrat union success. The police there leave notes on the utility poles to enter at your own risk. The police has a revolving door of top officials because they are up in charges for all kinds of behavioral and corruption issues. Here is one of the latest reports to survive the kneepad media blackout of life in Detroit. http://detroit.cbslocal.com/2013/01/05/detroiter-claims-911-call-of-stolen-van-with-gun-was-ignored/

Let’s see Booneville’s population is less than 120 and yet it is the county seat. Owsley County’s population is 4800 and just over half of the household incomes comes from government assistance. It small rural county in the Appalachia foothill region that is also in the old school bible belt. These folks know that the government has cost them jobs, they know they are financially poor and they know that they want to work. They do not have the “benefit” of California bias or elitism to analyze motives or have some outsider tell them they should be different. These people are more likely givers than takers and should be respected, not used for rhetorical benefit.

Blah, blah, blah. Maybe the reason your letters get bumped is in favor of letters more interesting. Did the MD really waste the ink to print this one? They should bill you for it. And every reader should bill you for the time it takes to read this crap-minimum wage will do. Please find a hobby other than sniveling.

MITT ROMNEY’S BILLIONAIRE BACKERS: At least 42 members of the Forbes billionaires list donated money to “Restore Our Future” @ http://pinterest.com/pcactionfund/mitt-romney-s-billionaire-backers/ ********** And the winner (drum roll) is . . . Sheldon Adelson, with $24.9B. Close runners-up: the Waltons, with Alice coming in at $23.3B and Jim, $23.7B. Ken Griffin (with but a miserly $3.0B) laments “the wealthy have ‘insufficient influence’ in politics.”.
