Today's post isn't about something that I normal post about midweek. However, there are some things that are really irritating me. First of all, I wish that politicians in my country would stop trying to take things away from poor people. Right now in the state of Iowa there is a bill that is trying to take food stamp benefits away from people. Originally, the bill would have stopped those on food stamps from purchasing fresh meat, white bread and many other products. After outcry by the public, the legislature is going to drop that part of the bill. However, there are many other restrictions in the bill against the poor getting Medicaid and food stamp benefits.
It is not right to take things away from those who are less fortunate while trying to do more to benefit the rich. One proposal in the House of Representatives of the United States wants to replace the current tax system with a 30 percent sales tax. This will only hurt the poor while giving the rich more money in their pockets.
Finally, enough with the book banning. As a writer, I just can't support this. There are objectionable things from a Christian perspective in a lot of literature. If you don't like it, don't read it. If you don't want to let your children read it, opt out.
Thank you for reading these opinions.
