Valas letter: Republicans

To all those who claim to be born Republican and still believe that the bit about the “shining city on the hill” — well, that turned out to be a gated community. And that tax breaks to the rich would trickle down to you and are still waiting. That deregulation would make things run better and lived though the Great Recession. That smaller government is better and who watched everything go downhill. You now have a chance to double down with the new sales pitch and vote for Donald Trump.

Paul Valas, Meridian
