It’s Your Call for May 23

Nobody voted to rob the middle class

Trump wants a $45 million military parade on his birthday. We're also paying $3.3 million for everyone at his weekend trip to play golf at Mar-a-Lago. And he wants to hide a huge, expensive tax break for the wealthiest few in the country. At the same time, he's slashing health care and vital services for the rest of us, as well as imposing tariff taxes that will cost the average family at least an extra $3,800 every year. Nobody voted to rob the middle class in order to further enrich the wealthy. 

They don't pay their taxes

Well, Speaker Johnson got that bill through that Trump wanted so bad and that put him one step closer to taking almost 8 million Americans off healthcare, most of them children or the elderly. He's taking food out of baby's mouths, kicking seniors out of assisted living in nursing homes, all so he can give the billionaires another tax cut. Remember during his election run, he told the billionaires you're rich as hell and I'm going to give you another big tax cut. These people don't deserve a tax cut. They don't pay their taxes now.  

Clean up the schools

Now that school is out of session for the summer, maybe it's time to clean up the schools and get rid of some of the deadbeat schoolteachers that we have. And yes, we have deadbeat schoolteachers. Good grief. Look at the school systems. We got some teachers that are laying around doing a whole lot of nothing. Some of them can't even balance their checkbooks. Let's get rid of some of the administrators, too. We need to clean up our school system. If we're going to have our city looking better, let's clean up our schools. Don't hide this problem, St. Joe.
