To the editor:

I believe that ALL conservatives and Republicans in the USA should return their relief checks to the federal government so that they do not become “unproductive” and “shiftless welfare recipients” and “blood-suckers” who are accepting “government handouts” and “something for nothing,” as well as “parasites” who are “overly dependent” on being “subsidized” by the federal government, which they HATE.

It is HYPOCRITICAL for conservatives and Republicans to accept money from the federal government when they constantly oppose social programs that help the middle and lower classes, which truly do need it. They look down their noses at these people, and now they are in their shoes.

All of our allies in western Europe have federal governments that do more to help their people than ours does.

So does Canada. For us to be right, all of them have to be wrong.

To quote Al Pacino in “And Justice For All,” “I have now completed my opening statement.”
