To: Congressman David Young

These lies appeared in letter I received today from my congressman: 

• This week, Republicans in Congress released a framework of a plan to fix our broken tax system to create a fair and simple tax code.
• Iowans know how to spend their money better than the federal government.

I replied to Congressman David Young as follows:

It’s past time to abandon the two big lies in this message. 

1) The R’s proposed tax “reform” will help the very few rich who contribute to your campaign fund, not middle class hardworking Iowans.  The Kochs own you, we don’t. 

2) The federal government does things with tax proceeds that ordinary people cannot do for themselves at all, much less in a better or wiser manner.  If you want to debate the proper role of government, do so without resorting to that tired old false argument.

Quit parroting the lies of the Republican playbook and starting speaking truth to your constituents.  Please.
