To the editor:
Regarding Mary K. Erwin’s letter, “Politicians should address
dental care as a senior health need.”
Ms. Erwin says, “But maybe I’m a little greedy. I would like to see
some relief for senior citizens in … the costs of dental work.”
Yes, Ms. Erwin, you are greedy. Our children already are paying for
our medical care with their taxes and you want to burden them more
for dental?
I totally disagree. I’m on Medicare, but I believe the entire
program should be done away with and those of us who are able
should pay our own way.
At the very least, the program should be placed on a need basis,
instead of paying for rich people’s care.
Why do we continue to steal from our children? Government programs
that help truly needy people are fine.
But Al Gore and the Democrats want the government to give tax money
to everybody to buy votes. There are an infinite number of good
deeds to be done, but unfortunately, our tax money is finite.
Vote for Bush.
