LTE: RE: G.O.P. Gains Edge in Poll as Economy Sways Voters
As a retiree living on a fluctuating retirement fund and Social Security, I understand voters’ concerns about the economy. Personally, I am grateful for my Social Security and Medicare, lifelines for millions of elderly and disabled Americans for which we are indebted to the Democrats.
It’s worth noting that the Democrats have been better stewards of the economy than the Republicans for decades. Trickle-down and supply-side economics and tax breaks for the wealthiest have worsened the income inequality that we suffer from today.
Finally, our votes this year will have a huge effect on our democracy itself. I cannot understand anyone’s willingness to support a party running hundreds of election deniers and incumbents who have expressed contempt for our personal freedoms and our very right to cast a vote that will be counted.
The economy goes up and down; our threatened democracy may not be so resilient.
