‘If we’re going to comment on candidates…’

By Roger Henningsgaard, Decorah

I feel I have to respond to Deb Keefe, who responded to my article. I’m glad she is a professional tax preparer that understands the ever changing tax laws, but her comments just proved everything I meant in my comments. All she said was a repeat of the left media talking points. She evidently has Trump derangement syndrome. So if we’re going to comment on candidates, here goes.

First, I’m an independent. I hate politics because I see politicians as people that we the people put there to work for us, not themselves. So I guess the people have failed. So, as for Kamala, first of all, she was installed without people voting for her. Second, she’s so far left she doesn’t dare talk about what she believes — also voted farther left than Bernie Sanders. Since she won’t give any interviews, then we have to look at what she has said in the past on video. Her administration does not follow the laws that are on the books currently that she took an oath to follow allowing millions of illegals in without vetting, not to mention the terrorists, criminals, child perverts and the list goes on and on. As far as I can tell, the only thing she believes in is to tax everybody to pay for her wish list, which includes more illegals, to get everything for free, including health care, food, drivers license, too many things to list, including sex changes for everyone. 

The one that bothers me the most is her belief of taxing unrealized capital. For those that don’t understand that, let me give you an example. Say you bought a property years ago for $50,000 and today it’s worth $500,000. So Deb should understand this one. The difference between purchase price and today’s value is $450,000. Kamala wants to tax that $450,000, even though you don’t sell that property to me. That’s a sure way to kill the U.S. economy and make everyone broke, except the government — Communism.

This is just one of the many tax increases she has said in the past on video. So, as I see it, if you love our country, you only have one choice and that’s Donald J. Trump. This is what I was thinking about in my original letter to the editor, to save our Republic. And just another example of her leadership skills is the latest weather disaster in American history. She stole money from FEMA to pay for her illegals, so FEMA doesn’t have the money to help the currently American people in distress. What a colossal failure of governing. Disgusting!

(((EDITOR’S NOTE))) The Federal Emergency Management Agency — or FEMA — said in an Oct. 3, 2024, statement that claims of funding for FEMA’s disaster response being diverted to support international efforts or boarder related issues are false. “FEMA’s disaster response efforts and individual assistance is funded through the Disaster Relief Fund, which is a dedicated fund for disaster efforts. Disaster Relief Fund money has not been diverted to other, non-disaster related efforts,” the statement said. FEMA’s statement can be viewed online at www.fema.gov/node/funding-fema-disaster-response-was-diverted-support-international-efforts-or-border-related.
