To the Editor:

Today our nation has come under the thumb of taxation, regulation and dictation not seen in over 250 years. The political classes whom make their declarations from on high in Washington, DC have besmirched the name of our founder and first president by using their power to dictate to you and me every waking minute.

This self-righteous political class has given us over $16 trillion in debt and they are still borrowing over $40 of every $100 they spend. You and your families share is over $100,000 and growing every second.       

It is time to stop the political class from enriching themselves with your money while bankrupting America and destroying the American dream started 236 years ago. We owe it to those who came before us. We owe it to those who paid with their lives for freedom, your freedom, your family’s freedom and millions across the world.
