To the Editor:

Our RI “representatives” have just celebrated their borrowed gift to RI of $1.6 billion and they have more to come. They plan to hijack the USA forever by imposing massive changes into the American way of life with another borrowed $3.5 trillion Build Better Bill. Big Tech, the mainstream media, the big corporations, even National Grid and the so-called independent education and religious institutions have provided no opposition. They are all complicit in this massive conspiracy to transform the USA into a socialist state where the PARTY will rule.

Reportedly, within this thousand page bill are the following measures:

1. The Federal government will mandate that only unions do the work under this bill.

2. The Federal government will be empowered to raise taxes on multiple fronts.

3. The Federal government will empower the IRS to increase its manpower providing surveillance over all bank and credit card transactions greater than $600.

4. The Federal government will impose liberal voting requirements superseding states’ rights and the US Constitution.

5. The Federal government will be empowered to grant subsidies to non fossil fuel energies and thereby eliminate coal, natural gas and oil. The Green New Deal will become law!

6. The Federal government will be empowered to grant amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants.

7. The Federal government will be empowered to provide “free” preschool and post high school education to millions.

This short list entails an enormous transfer of power from the private to the centralized, Federal government.  Decisions that were made by the many in the marketplace will be made by the few in the central government; from private to public; from State to Federal. The RI delegation does not represent the interests of the people and is locked into the Party and the Party rules. The resulting bill looks like something that could have been written by the Chinese Communist Party for those living in free Taiwan.
