In response to a letter last week by Mr. Ken Rentz who wrote, "The super-rich have had lower taxes for 10 years now...",  I ask that you please print some information from the irs.gov website.

When asked by Lesley Stahl in an interview of John Boehner on 60 minutes why the Republican Party, supposedly dedicated to reducing government spending and balancing the budget, would support an agreement that would add nearly a trillion dollars to the nation's debt Mr. Boehner took time out from crying to say that deficits are caused by government spending, not by reductions in government income.

Can people afford to leave Hillsboro to try to find work or hold a job? Draw your own conclusions.

To the editor:
 As Highland County and surrounding counties mourn the loss of one of our  faithful and wise friends, colleague, professor, mentor, and example, Bill Horne, I am pleased to take the time out and write to you all about how he inspired my  life, and others.

We seem to have a president playing the part of the turtle in the story of a turtle giving a scorpion a ride across a river with Republicans playing the part of the scorpion. Like the scorpion, Republicans will lash out at the entity that is transporting them across treacherous waters, even if that means they will drown as a result, because it is their nature.

Those of us in Greenfield are very fortunate to have a Senior Nutrition Site in Greenfield where people 60 or older can get a hot noon meal five days a week. The meal includes a hot meal, dessert, and drinks of juice, tea, and milk. The Senior Nutrition Site is located at 1230 Greenhills Village Drive (across from the library) beside Pamida.

To the editor:
 The holidays are a natural time to enjoy family and get-togethers – sharing festive meals, exchanging gifts and celebrating traditions. But for the 65 million Americans taking care of someone with a life-limiting illness, finding holiday cheer can be difficult.

Republicans oppose this health care bill because it is a horrible piece of legislation, not because we oppose health care reform. I believe that Congress can do better and expect them to do so.

St. Mary Catholic School PTG group would like to thank everyone for coming to our annual fall carnival. It was a great success and a lot of fun was had by all.

All Republicans at all levels should reject government supported health care for themselves and their families. They do not believe that all the citizens of this country deserve excellent health care coverage even if it is provided by the government. So, why should we citizens provide them with health care?

To the editor:
 This is the first "letter to the editor" I have ever written, so I hope you realize the extent to which I am concerned.

We, the People asked for "change" in 2008, but we failed to name any specific change we wanted. As a result, we got a Congress that did nothing but shove their agenda on us and spend money and argue about a 1,000-page health care bill for a year, while we were all sinking.

I loved your humor on your chili experiences. It was a real hoot to read. I never heard of chili for breakfast, but hey, to each his own. I could never be so brave. The part about Rolaids and Charmin had me rolling. See, even that portion of your editorial was educational. I never knew what a "knock" of spice was! Keep up the good work.
