Middle class lost between liberals and conservatives

Middle class lost between liberals and conservatives

EDITOR:

I don’t know about the rest of you, but I am sick and tired.

I am sick and tired of Bushes and the Clintons. Does anyone realize that if Hillary Clinton is elected president, our country will have had either a Bush or Clinton in the White House since 1989. That would be a minimum of 24 straight years with a potential of 28 years of the Bush/Clinton reign. That cannot be good for our country. Why doesn’t someone in the “mainstream media” talk about this? Think about that before you vote for Hillary. If you truly want a change, vote for someone different.

Speaking of politicians, I am sick and tired of Republicans and Democrats playing politics at the expense of our national security and general well being. They all need to quit bickering like school children and do the job they were elected to do.

I am sick and tired of far left liberals and far right conservatives. Is there any politician who really cares about the middle class? The answer is no. They don’t care about us, they just want our votes. The Democratic Party has been hijacked by far left liberals who do not relate to the family values and work ethic of the average American and the Middle Class. Likewise, the far right conservatives are attempting to strong arm the Republican Party. Democrat or Republican, Protestant or Catholic, Christian, Jew or Muslim, most middle class people differ only slightly on overall views and moral compass. The fact of the matter is the voting majority is mostly moderate. When will a political party form to truly represent the moderate majority, called the middle class?

I’m sick and tired of illegal aliens. What part of illegal is confusing? Why are our hard earned tax dollars being used to debate this issue? If they are here illegally, they have no rights or benefits, send them home and secure our borders.

Speaking of hard earned tax dollars, I am sick and tired of sending billions of dollars in aid to countries that hate Americans. We need to quit buying friendship. Think how much good that money could do for our country and our true friends and allies. Maybe that’s the way to fix Social Security?

I am sick and tired of people who are trying to take God out of our daily lives. I am sick and tired of open season on attacking Christians and our values. When did believing in God and practicing Christianity become a bad thing? This country was founded on a belief in God. I say, keep God, get rid of the politicians.

All went well in Akron

EDITOR:

My son had surgery recently at Akron Children’s Hospital. The entire experience, beginning with the phone call from preadmission testing the day before the surgery and ending with the attendant helping me to get my son into the car to take him home after the surgery, was as stress free as they could make it for the young patient and his family.

We were able to be with our son the entire time other than when he was actually in surgery. We were able to be with him in the recovery room as soon as he came out of surgery. The instructions we were given prior to and after surgery were easy to follow. Everything was clearly marked and easy to find. The staff, from the secretary who signed us in to the nurses in the recovery room, was professional yet caring in their treatment of my son.

If Akron Children’s Hospital can, by purchasing the Beeghly complex from Forum Health, bring this kind of care to the children of Mahoning Valley, it will be money well spent.
