Dan Meuser is a right-wing extremist member of Congress. He is a big time Trump supporter. Last week the Lehighton Times News ran a letter from Rep. Meuser extolling the new administration. I had to set him straight on a few points. Here is my letter:
Dear Congressman Meuser,
Recently you wrote in a column in the Times News that “The American people voted for President Trump’s plan to cut waste, and restore fiscal sanity.” I’m sure they did. What the American people did NOT vote for was blustering about Panama and Greenland and completely unqualified cabinet appointees.
Restoring “fiscal sanity” is interesting. I don’t think you do that by giving tax breaks to multi-millionaires like yourself or eliminating the inheritance tax so those same multi-millionaires can pass their money down to their kids.
And then we get to the old Republican trope of “embracing domestic energy production,” another phrase for “let’s really ramp up global warming.”
I am so tired of wealthy Congress members who move around until they find a seat they can buy lecturing us on economic matters. According to the web site “Open Secrets,” your net worth in 2018 was over $30 million. I’m sure with the Trump tax cuts, it has jumped. In the meantime, thank you so much for the commentary on how great we are all going to have it.
Sincerely,
Roy Christman
Did you send the letter to Meuser or the Times News— not that they’d publish it?
