Letter to the editor: Signs point to end of civilization

Dr. Mehmet Oz’s campaign slogan is “America First.” It is unattainable. Wake up to reality. Praise a man who has done so much damage to our federal government and country? Our democracy is ending.

Not one politician seems to want to do anything about our national debt. The last time we had a modest tax plan to pay off our national debt, it got scrapped by the next president. It was working and had amassed over $600 billion in surplus. Now a modest tax hike would not even pay the interest accumulated in a year.

Higher interest rates, inflation and no jobs; it’s coming soon. Or would you rather have worthless money and starvation? Look at what some of the politicians are doing: Toting guns with Democrats in their sights; wanting a second civil war; passing voter suppression laws. They give themselves tax breaks; they become millionaires overnight.

These are all signs of a civilization that is ending. Corruption!
