I’m writing in response to Bill Schweers’ recent letter regarding the chasm between the middle class and the rich.

He observes the Democrats as the paragon of virtue, fighting for the middle class, while those dastardly Republicans are on cahoots with the wealthy.

Schweers is confused and flat wrong.

I’m a CPA with a master in taxation, certainly qualified to opine on taxation. He ignores economic policy and impact of the Federal Reserve.

Search top political donors to see the majority is to the Democratic Party. The top three banks are already opening their checkbooks for Hillary Clinton. Do you really believe that’s going to help the middle class?

Schweers’ arguments are the same as Thom Hartmann’s Internet articles, filled with historical inaccuracies about taxes. Like NB’s Brian Williams’ fabricated war stories, as long as it fits the liberal narrative, the truth doesn’t matter.

Warren Buffett is a good example of the “rich” advocating for higher taxes. Buffett made billions buying distressed small businesses unable to compete due to excessive regulation and taxes. Of course h’s for raising taxes! Buffett has over 90 percent of his net worth in trusts – free from income tax.

Liberal Democrats and RINOs have crippled small businesses. The successful small business owner is who these thieves are after, not politically connected people like Buffett, preventing them from achieving wealth with over-regulation, excessive taxes and economic policy.

The evidence is clear. Gallup recently reported the number of full-time jobs to population is the lowest it’s ever been. New business start-ups now are lower than small business deaths. Unemployment numbers are flat false.

My solution:

*Audit and eliminate the Fed (eliminates cronyism).

*Convert to a flat or consumption-based tax (eliminates Wall/K Street).

*Term limits (eliminates dishonest politicians).
