Whitmore letter: Tax loopholes

Come on, does Senator Crapo really expect the people of Idaho to believe that he has been working to lower the national debt? We have been at war now for 15 years. Exactly how much money did Crapo vote to pay for the wars? Crapo and his friends in Congress not only caused the great recession, but they have created a system that impoverishes the middle class. God save us from fools who want to destroy Social Security, Medicare and a host of programs for the poor and the middle class while shifting as much of our national income as they can to the top.
