To the editor:

Step right this way, ladies and gentlemen. That’s right, the line forms here to the greatest show on earth! Watch as our elected politicians promise to provide large slices of the American prosperity pie while cutting taxes, fighting wars and raising the ceiling of our national debt (“National debt should alarm U.S. public,” Journal-World., Feb. 5). You will be amazed to observe how these true American representatives create elaborate financial instruments and other shell games to transfer wealth from the lower and middle classes to their elite patrons.

Watch the dollar printing presses churn! You will be astounded at the passivity of an electorate that only wants to hear of entitlement and privilege and nothing of austerity or sacrifice. Hurry! Get in line now, because we are not sure how long this show will last.
