Unfair burden

To the editor:

We join with Americans from coast to coast who are showing outrage and anger towards politicians in Washington who want to slash Social Security, turn Medicare over to insurance companies and decimate Medicaid.

Members of Congress are being appropriately greeted with scores of angry constituents holding them accountable for their recent vote in favor of the House Republican budget.

The United States can do better than providing generous benefits to highly profitable multi-national corporations and the very wealthy while placing added burdens on people in the working and middle class, and the poor.
