To the editor: Columnist Jonah Goldberg writes that the Democratic Occasion is “a multitude” as a result of it’s “pretty perceived as extra involved with the pursuits of the few and fewer involved with the welfare and rights of the numerous” (“Perhaps the newest Democratic disarray means they’re coming to their senses,” June 17). He then defines the “few,” at the least partly, because the lecturers’ and authorities staff’ unions.
Sadly, Goldberg misses the massive image. It’s the Republican Occasion that constantly offers tax cuts to the wealthy and the firms whereas they pay lip service to the center class and are overtly hostile to the poor. It’s the Republican Occasion that appears to hate the unions — the financial motion that has most benefited the center class and the working class. It’s the Republican Occasion that’s hostile to something that helps customers and the surroundings. It’s the Republican Occasion that desires to dismantle Social Safety, Medicare, Medicaid, the Inexpensive Care Act, meals stamps for kids, the Shopper Monetary Safety Bureau and the Environmental Safety Company.
Donald Trump conned hundreds of thousands of Individuals into believing that he’s a populist who’s looking for his or her pursuits. The White Home’s Division of Authorities Effectivity reduce authorities funding and companies for packages that assist the center class and the poor, and now Trump is looking for tax cuts for the wealthy and companies. Trump’s “Large Lovely Invoice” will do extra of the identical. It ought to be apparent that Trump and the Republicans usually are not involved with “the welfare and rights of the numerous.”
