Letter to the editor: Vote Trump/Vance against socialism
In a Kamala Harris/Tim Walz administration, pets may be on the menu. Let me explain.
The most radical Leftist Democrat ticket in our history has unveiled the most radical Leftist agenda in our history. Price control is their answer to the high prices/inflation they caused in the last 3.5 years with their out of control $7 trillion spending. Harris/Walz are going to spend, spend, spend again; expecting a different result this time around. Hyper-inflation will be the result of their insanity. They are proposing full blown Socialism. Price control on food causes food shortages, empty shelves and famine. Profit margins in the grocery industry are only 1.6%. Rent control produces rents so low that landlords will refuse to rent out their properties, leading to a massive housing shortage. They also want to tax unrealized capital gains which Democrat Mark Cuban says will destroy the stock market.
Venezuela used to be the wealthiest country in South America. Now, their inflation rate is 190%. I wrote many letters on this topic, warning of our demise, if we go down the path of Venezuela. And here we are today, staring down the barrel of the same failed Socialist policies that destroyed Venezuela. When the fine people of Venezuela ran out of zoo animals to eat, they resorted to eating their own pets. Is that the path you want to go down? Because, these are the cold hard facts.
High taxes, government control policies and crime have led to a mass exodus of almost 50,000 folks from Tim Walz’s Minnesota. Walz was a COVID tyrant who imprisoned anyone defying his lockdown directives. During the 2020 BLM riots, Walz let Minneapolis burn for days. Walz signed laws catering to illegals, giving them free health care and tuition. It is a chilling preview of what’s to come.
This is the most important election in our lifetime. If you want a country abundant with peace and prosperity, Trump/Vance is the solution. The implementation of smart policies is the answer to our problems, not the failed Soviet-style policies proposed by Harris/Walz.
