Paying Fair Share Is True American Way

I am disturbed, and I am old — almost three quarters of a century. What’s disturbing is not my oldness — I don’t feel that most days. It’s our U.S. Congress that disturbs and disappoints, especially those senators who voted on Dec. 4 against better lives for the lower economic classes of our citizens — middle class and the poor — by holding out for tax cuts for the rich, ironically, the ones who could afford to pay more towards our deficit without disturbing the comfort of their lives.
