The Issue: US Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren’s argument for higher taxes on the wealthy.
***
Elizabeth Warren is unable to handle the truth about business and industry in this great nation (“The Left’s New Excuse,” Rich Lowry, PostOpinion, Sept. 23).
There is absolutely no reason to levy additional taxes on industries that move their goods over our roads and highways, because they must hire companies to move their products.
Transportation companies factor into their invoices the cost of road and fuel taxes.
Therefore, the producers are already paying their share of moving goods, and no additional taxes should be needed.

Evidently, Rich Lowry and most Republicans don’t believe the wisdom embodied in: “To whom much is given, much is required.”
Lowry overlooks the fact that the rich who open factories cannot begin to succeed without workers and those who buy their goods.
In the worldly kingdom in which we live, the rich will always be first and the poor and vulnerable will always be last.
But in God’s ideal kingdom on Earth, the last shall be first.

With her rhetoric, Warren can win the Fidel Castro impersonation award.
If this is what Harvard is teaching, we’re in big trouble.
Not only does the White House need a clean sweep, so does academia.
