Letter to the editor: Greed is killing America

“The eagle and the arrow: An eagle was soaring through the air when he felt a pain in his side which caused him to crash helplessly to the ground. As he felt his life slipping away, he looked at the arrow which had felled him and found that the shaft was feathered with one of his own tail feathers, and he lamented for all the mountains and sky to hear: We often give our enemies the means for our destruction!”

Now think what our government, Big Pharma, the auto industry, the high-tech industry and big businesses have done to our country. They sold it out for tax breaks, cheap labor, low-quality products and money all in the name of offshore manufacturing. Now, they are letting foreign governments buy up our real estate.

It’s our own fault, because we keep reelecting the same lying, greedy politicians to office. Goodbye to the America we once knew. Maybe we should listen to the eagle, because the enemy comes from within.
