The Squeeze on the Middle Class

In reading your editorial on the squeezing of the middle class, you conveniently forget to mention the real reason why the middle class is under siege. This blunder on your part is understandable since your editorial policy is biased toward ever-increasing big government.

The real squeeze comes from the oppressive personal taxation in this state, together with the over-regulation and bleeding of business through mandated costs, i.e., worker’s compensation, health insurance, etc.

It is obvious that in this society and especially in this anti-business state, the real enemy of all people, especially the middle class, is ever-expanding big government. The cure is to drastically reduce the size of government as well as to expose your editorial policy as being blatant socialism.
