An Open Letter

To: Sen. Rounds, Sen. Thune, Rep. Johnson

From: A verified voter in Rapid City, SD

May 12

Please vote NO on any bill that would decrease or discontinue Medicare, Medicaid, Marketplace Health Insurance, or Social Security. These plans and benefits are easily funded by billionaires and corporations who still owe on taxes. In fact, everyone in our nation could be pulled out of poverty and be provided healthcare if the ultra wealthy just paid their damn taxes like we all have to do, and if they paid their fair share… we could be like all of the other democratic nations that have universal healthcare, strong infrastructure, and excellent public education. There is absolutely no good reason for the top 1% to continue to hoard all of their wealth on the backs of the working class. Let them pay into the system at the same rate the middle-class has to pay. We’ve spent the last 40+ years proving that trickledown Reaganomics does NOT work. It’s the epitome of an anti-Robinhood economy with the uber rich stealing from poor and keeping all of the money and resources for themselves while the rest of us are told to pull ourselves up by non-existent bootstraps. Save our healthcare. Save our social security. Save our public education. Save our environment. Hands off our public lands. Hands off our National Parks. I don’t mind paying my fair share of taxes as long as the corporations, millionaires, and billionaires pay their fair share too. PS. How many school lunches could we pay for instead of throwing a stupid vanity parade for the egomaniac in charge?! This is Idiocracy. It’s lunacy. And if you call yourself a Christian, it’s blasphemy.
