Letter: Save us from these elitists and their insane policies

Posted

To the editor:

Amazing letter. The guy turns a light switch on to power up his computer; uses his cell phone to text people about the email he is sending to the Sakonnet Times; thereby using the internet and all its associated equipment; drives an electric car with a lithium battery which requires thousand of tons of destroyed mountain and crushed rock to obtain the lithium in the battery; probably applauds such things as the destruction of the Brayton Point Power Station; will be the first in line to complain vociferously about the fact that he no longer can make phone calls on his cell phone because the grid is down, based on the insane policies he supports; wonders why the local hospital can no longer offer emergency room services because all the doctors are fighting the diseases with medicines which are no longer available to combat because they can't be produced, according to the policies he supports; and submits his life, his and his children's and his future to people who are proposing policies which will make it okay. for them, [the elitists] to tax all of his income to make the world an absolutely insane, sick place to live in, another Venezuela, or worse.

God help us stay away from the ignorant people who inhabit the World of Utopia. They are willing to be subjects under the rule of a statist, tyrannical government, rather than citizens who govern their country as a constitutional republic.
