Instead of providing a firewall between the public and the private, this newspaper endorses the continued growth of the public sector by means of taxation, permits, fees and licenses and dismisses all criticism with that’s “the unfortunate price of society”. Our homes and businesses will continue to be an ATM for every department in city government and the redistribution of wealth will continue from private to public persons until we are forced out of our property. For example, according to your paper, the cowards in the School Committee will hire an “arbiter” from the State to decide how much will be taken from us, but never in those terms, rather how much the School Committee can spend on their department. There is no line, no wall keeping their hands out of our pockets, so they keep taking more and more.

A while back, this newspaper rose up in righteous indignation to demand that the press be respected and not coerced by government after being accused by some as Fake News. How dare anyone suggest that this newspaper and others are in collusion with the Liberal, Leftist elements in our political body! How thrilling to read these stirring editorials from across the country advocating freedom of the press! We demand that we be respected as defenders of the 1st Amendment!

It appears that the defense of freedom only applies to the righteous editors, while the taxpayers are mere sheep to be fleeced. SO SAD!
