Is their support based on income?

Last year’s most lookedup word was authentic, meaning “not false or imitation: real, actual.” Eugene Hernandez wrote supporting Miguel Rios with working on school issues. Hernandez also states that he also has been a victim of discrimina­tion by Blacks. I believe Rios’ class was about teaching tolerance. Rios and Hernandez falsely believe that if racism is mentioned, the race card is being played. Rios and Hernandez fit in with the Republican Party in that racism is not to be addressed. That is not being authentic. If Rios/ Hernandez produced a history book, they would bring Dr. King, Cesar Chavez, and other civil rights leaders but not mention the racism they all faced.

Mr. Zak wrote about his concern about deficit/inflation. Mr. O’Connell wrote about people not being happy with the economy/cost of living. I have issued my opinion as an accountant that Trump increased the deficit every year by giving corporatio­ns/ rich tax breaks. Instead of investing into the American worker, corporatio­ns used the money to spend $800 billion to buy back their own stock making them richer.

The rich flourished under Donald Trump because the Republican Party limited funds to the IRS. I presented facts to show how much the deficit would drop if corporatio­ns and the rich pay their taxes. Biden giving IRS funds to go after the rich has resulted in $520 million in revenue so far. It is well known among accountant­s that the rich do not pay their fair share in taxes.

Responding to McConnell’s letter regarding my research, McConnell presents no facts to show that terror attacks will increase due to illegal immigratio­n. Mr. O’Connor questions my facts about illegal immigrants being vital to our economy by writing that the costs of housing, educating and feeding illegal immigrants outweigh the tax revenue that the government is receiving. If illegal immigrants are receiving income, why would the cost to educate, feed and clothe them would be so much greater? O’Connor fails to provide evidence that the majority of illegal immigrants are paid in cash.

O’Connor mentioned African-Americans being replaced by illegal immigrants, but ignores the overall fact as to how illegal immigratio­n benefits the whole economy.

O’Connor refers to me as a “Black accountant.” Would my facts be accepted if I was white? If Republican policies benefit people who make over $400,000 a year; why do Republican­s like O’Connor and Zak support Republican­s if they make less?
