LETTER: Joe Biden’s tax plan befuddles the average Joe

A recent letter writer commenting on Joe Biden’s tax plan is an example of the naiveté that Mr. Biden hopes for. Donald Trump’s tax cut reduced the taxes of more than 80 percent of the middle class. Studies already show that Mr. Biden’s tax plan will reduce middle-class income by close to 2 percent. It will also create additional unemployment.

What the average Joe doesn’t understand is that when you increase corporate taxes, these costs are handed down in the way of less employment, fewer raises and elimination of bonuses to the middle class and overall cut in expenses.

Democrats favor the rich as reflected by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s proposition to remove the $10,000 limit on state and local tax deductions, which will directly benefit the rich by reducing their federal tax burden. Unfortunately, most Americans do not understand basic economics.

LETTER: No conspiracy involving Hunter’s laptop

The R-J should acknowledge that Mr. Trump’s lies, frauds, defamations, criminal indictments and convictions are exponentially worse than Hunter’s laptop being evidence or any of the other alleged Biden missteps.

LETTER: Trump tries to win Nevada

Mr. Trump advocating for tax-free tip income is definitely one approach to winning Nevada. But my tip to Mr. Trump is to pick Marco Rubio and show the diversity of the GOP.

LETTER: Red Rock development ‘compromise’ is depressing

Red Rock Canyon is a fragile natural wonder. To claim that 3,500 homes and the traffic that goes with them, and changing the nature of the watershed, will not negatively impact the area is absurd.

LETTER: Russian warships off the Florida coast

It’s strange that the mainstream media are treating Russian combat ships miles off the Florida coast as nothing to see here.

LETTER: Columnist gaslights about Donald Trump

Mr. Trump would have not won if his affair with Stormy Daniels had been made public after the “Access Hollywood” tapes in which Mr. Trump brags that he grabs women by the genitals.

LETTER: A balanced approach on the energy transition

We will never be free of fossil fuels. A balanced approach is needed. Politically doctrinaire positions on both sides won’t help us resolve the current problems.
