I read the recent letter written by Mark Rothacher (“How would things be different if only Democrats were in charge?) and wish to comment. I agree with everything that Rothacher wrote with one exception. He wrote, “This system would work for average citizens and workers and not the billionaires who control today’s Republican Party.”
I see no reason why this would not work for the billionaires, regardless of their political affiliations. Asking those billionaires who do not and have not paid their fair share of taxes, would not change their lifestyle, their way of life, in any way. They would continue to enjoy enormous wealth.
