To the person who thinks that they’re going to pay more tax earning only $10,000, I’d just like to let you know you will not pay any tax. If you make $20,000 you will not pay any tax. So get on board and back Trump.

Reading in The Mercury where $1.7 million of Valley Forge Casino money will benefit Montgomery County Parks and nonprofits beginning January 1. I thought when they first instituted gaming in Pennsylvan­ia it was supposed to go toward helping the homeowners with their taxes and now hardly any of it’s been going there. No wonder we haven’t been getting any kind of real tax relief from gaming because they’re not even putting it towards the homeowners’ property taxes.

For anybody who drives through a wooded area and hits a deer you only have yourself to blame especially if you’re speeding. It boggles my mind that people still continuall­y drive through wooded areas and speed. You know there are deer there. Slow down. Even if you don’t care about hitting an animal and killing it or causing it bodily harm and letting it die a miserable death think about the vehicle that you paid thousands of dollars for and have now damaged. Stop Being In Such A Rush

Well we are finally starting to see the criminal consequenc­es of lying in the Trump administra­tion. It’s sad enough that the president of the United States is a liar, he has turned everyone around him into liars. Looks like the beginning of the end and I must say it’s about time. We will soon be able to have some pride in our country again. Facts Matter

My sister bought a brand-new LG refrigerat­or in October. The day before Thanksgivi­ng it failed. Called a service man as required by LG. No action, they do not service the Pottstown area. Be very careful about your purchasing of LG appliances. You should purchase American where there’s a service person who will come out to your area.

I finally get it. Every party needs a clown.

On Thursday on my way home from volunteeri­ng, my sensor on my car for low tire pressure came on. I pulled into Emery Auto Repair in Spring City and a nice fellow came out. He proceeded to check and fill all my tires with air. He said the change in the weather can do this. I was so grateful for his help. When I asked what he wanted he told me there was no charge. Thank you for your help. It really eased my mind. God bless you. JB

Well I guess Trump will start his infrastruc­ture now since they have the tax bill. Get ready to start building the poorhouses for the people that have to pay the higher taxes and the orphanages for the parents who won’t even be able to keep their children like they had in the 20s and 30s. Congratula­tions Trump, you really messed this country up.

To the reader who suggested that Mr. Trump’s golf playing was more acceptable because he plays with dignitarie­s and government representa­tives, etc., you forgot two things. Number one, the purpose of playing golf is for relaxation and number two Mr. Obama has friends to play with. Furthermor­e Donald Trump’s hours of golf far exceed those of President Obama’s. Frattbak

One down, three to go. They’re coming for your Donnie. Lock Him Up

This is for Congress. Get off your you-know-what and pass legislatio­n banning all sanctuary cities and that includes Philly from getting any money from the federal government after that verdict in San Francisco. Protecting an illegal who killed an American woman Kate Steinli and he gets off because of that pathetic sanctuary city San Francisco and its policies. Do something Congress and do it now.

Gen. Michael Flynn, Trump’s security advisor who during the campaign shouted “Lock her up” about Hillary Clinton, lied to the FBI and will now go to prison himself. Depending on the evidence he turns over, he could take Trump along with him as Trump cannot pardon himself or at least he will be impeached. It also looks like they have Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, with more lies. Trump’s castle has started

Hey Al, I always get a kick out of your comments. I will agree with you that what Matt Lauer did was very wrong. But he’s a sexual abuser who happens to be a Democrat and you make it sound like he’s a sexual abuser because he’s a Democrat. Oh well as Peggy Bundy always says, “That’s Al folks.”

What’s wrong with this new tax bill is that the same ones who voted for it will be voted back in office once again. What a shame.
