Yoder is the epitome of political liberalism

If one wishes to understand the sick, twisted, liberal mentality, one need not look further than the first three paragraphs of Edwin Yoder's Nov. 21 column in the News & Record. Yoder, in speaking of the $ 500-per-child tax credit proposed by the Republicans, calls the tax credit a ''handout.''

This is the essence of warped liberal thinking and the reason why the middle class has been decimated by oppressive tax policies of the Congress controlled by liberal Democrats for the past 40 years. Liberals think that letting those of us who go out and work every day simply keep a little more of ''our'' money is a ''handout.''

They truly believe that ''our'' money belongs to the government. Liberals believe that welfare recipients are ''entitled'' to those payments, with increases every year, but that tax relief for working people is a ''handout.''

These people shouldn't be put in charge of a lemonade stand, let alone a multi-trillion dollar economy.

There is not a socialist country in the world today that is not an economic disaster yet the socialist-thinking liberals in government and the media insist on bringing those same failed policies to our country.

Jack Kennedy in the early 60s said that we must cut taxes to increase revenues to the treasury. It worked then and every time since then, but the liberals have yet to figure it out and probably never will.
