To the editor:
Every couple of weeks, someone from Bloomington has a letter to the editor promoting what’s-her-name-Watson for Congress. Then I realized that the Bloomington “elites” think we “poor, uneducated hill folk” need their guidance.
Finally, in the July 4 edition, a Watsonite writer from Trafalgar stopped talking about issues and sunk to using the Schumer-Pelosi-Waters mudslinging tactic. Really? Please, let’s show a little Hoosier honesty and civility.
After reading that letter, I realized that someone sensible should respond, and I guess that someone is me. As I reread some of the recent letters I saw that one writer had finally “let the cat out of the bag.” Watson is promoting Medicare for “everyone,” and I’ll bet that includes illegal aliens.
I believe Watson is a Socialist, not a Democrat. I imagine that before the election, this Socialist will include all kinds of free programs for everyone. Question: How do the Socialists plan to pay for all this free stuff? We Brown Countians are smart enough to know that nothing is truly free.
They would probably strip the military budget, get rid of ICE, throw the borders wide open, begin taxing what are today’s deadly illegal drugs, confiscate all of our guns, raise our taxes and finally take over government control of our businesses and our private properties.
Please, folks, beware of what seems too good to be true, because it is.
