THOMAS PERKINS...THE RIGHT TO SPEAK YOUR MIND...

For twenty years I have read almost everything I can find on the history of Germany and its people.  There are no words to describe World War II and the Holocaust.  Words like horror, terror , Apocalypse, torture, cruelty, abomination and whatever you can think of cannot represent one grain of sand in the atrocity of the Nazi regime.

Albeit, that does not take away from a person's right to compare the holocaust to other human behaviors.  Whenever a minority group by race, religion, sex, economic standing, disability, education level or any such criteria are singled out for a form of punishment, that they are not given a right to vote down, they may be being abused.

The first thing the Nazis did was to confiscate the possessions of the Jews.  It was only later that the physical tortures and annihilation came into being.  

A person's wealth is their personal possession.  The Democratic party has singled out what has been called in the press the top "1 percent" as almost criminal because they have more money than others do.  The truth in the matter is that progressive tax rates don't increase the standard of living of people of less wealth.  What they do is form the basis of a democratic political  policy of promises rather than real results.

It was said long ago if we really want to improve our "best of class" country to an even better place we can.  We have to add more policies that increase the well being of the largest majority of people and stop the class warfare.

For the record, Federal Express and UPS do a more efficient job than the United States Postal Service.
