Letter to the Editor:
What’s wrong with our country? A little math tells the story — even a die-hard MAGA supporter can follow it. Elon Musk is set to pocket a trillion dollars from Tesla. Do the math: if he worked 40 years, eight hours a day, that’s roughly $12 million an hour.
Now think about that. When one man earns $12 million an hour and a McDonald’s worker earns $20, something is deeply broken. When 400 families control half the nation’s wealth, that means millions of others go without food, health care, or housing.
Yet Trump and his crowd cheer it on. He gets his gold-plated toilet and endless golf rounds while ordinary Americans struggle to pay rent. Is this really the America we want — where 10 percent live in luxury and 50 percent live in poverty?
Most modern countries have figured out how to balance prosperity and fairness. But Trump’s America? It keeps shoveling even more to the Musks of the world — and calling it freedom.
