Trumps fans buying anything hes selling <\/p>\n
Regarding Paper should focus on the Rice controversy (April 5): President Trump was desperate to divert attention from charges that Russia helped his campaign. Enter shiny object No. 1. He makes up a story that Barack Obama personally wiretapped him. But that doesnt work out very well, since there is no evidence for it. <\/p>\n
Lets try shiny object No. 2. He leaks secret information to Devin Nunes, who parrots it back to him and the media See, he was being wiretapped, but inadvertently. <\/p>\n
This doesnt fly either, so on to shiny object No. 3. Drag out Susan Rice to beat up. Fox runs a story without any evidence that she unmasked his team. You may well ask why they were on the other end of the phone with Russian agents. <\/p>\n
Cue the Trump lemmings who write in to this paper complaining that they didnt sufficiently cover this latest attempt to divert attention. <\/p>\n

It said the U.S. is being run by an idiot. <\/p>\n Now that it is ideologically aligned with the mainstream media and Democrats, shouldnt the United Nations offer it a seat? It would fit right in. <\/p>\n Frank Felber <\/p>\n San Diego <\/p>\n In response to Will Donald Trump flub tax reform, too? (April 2): I take exception to your editorials claim that its mind-boggling and crazy that a disproportionate amount of tax relief may end up going to the richest Americans. <\/p>\n This assertion flies in the face of the latest IRS statistics from 2013, which show that the average taxpayer paid a 13.6 percent income tax rate. The breakdown among taxpayer percentiles: the bottom half paid a 3 percent rate, the top half paid 15 percent, and the top 1 percent paid a whopping 27 percent. <\/p>\n Your editorial ignores the context that taxes on the affluent already increased significantly during the Obama years, which arent yet reflected in these statistics. <\/p>\n You also criticize the proposed abolition of the estate tax, which isnt reflected in these numbers either since its an immoral one-time tax on a decedents wealth. <\/p>\n This simply propagates the demagogic narrative that the wealthy need to pay their fair share regardless of the actual numbers. <\/p>\n Whats really mind-boggling is the notion that if youre not in favor of tax hikes on the rich into perpetuity, youre somehow against the middle class. <\/p>\n Zachary M.
