Mr. Traficant,
Here are two editorials I recently sent in to the Elyria Chronicle.
The first has been published. The second is pending.
That Time of Year
It’s that time again–when the stores are out asking
you for that dollar donation. You know what it’s like–
when you’re in your third store of the day, just stopping
in for an apple and some sardines and about broke. But
you find a way, don’t you? Or do you? Maybe you’re
going to say no. But then you see some lady in a pair
of shoes with a pair of holes who donates her dollar–
and then you see her in the parking lot getting into her
car that looks as though it came from Fonzie’s backyard.
And then you see some woman in a new pair of heels
say no to donating. And then you see her in the parking
lot getting into her new car–parked in some handicap zone.
Too often it’s the case that those who can afford less
are left to give more so that others can afford more.
And when the pot is full and time for the old shoes to
retire, the old shoes find the pot that she helped fill is
going more toward the lady in the new heels. And that’s
a dance I just can’t afford to look at anymore.

Regarding Bob Mayer’s expert analysis on the spending
and non-spending habits of Americans (3/2/10), I am left
to wonder about his motive. Is he talking about people
WITH money who are giving less than people who are
struggling with their two-or-three part-time jobs and who
are on their various ways toward less-than-satisfactory
retirements–or is he talking about how the government
is handing out HIGHER rewards to those who have put
less or nothing into the collective poker pot that requires
nothing more than sitting down at the table? My guess
is that he his talking about both.
