Letters that the Kansas City Star did publish

Several writers had inane letters published all on the same day.  My letter to criticize them went unpublished.  One fellow wonders why discount coupons aren’t taxed as income.  While Republicans think that the rich should not pay more in taxes, they would love to tax the middle and low income individuals.  Another fellow wrote to ask why construction workers and their supervisors wear hard hats on the job.   I wonder what that writer does with his spare time.  A third writer, while meaning well, attacked the President for participating with NATO to oust Gaddafi in Libya.  Gaddafi has sponsored terrorism, has threatened to attack European countries and intended to slaughter thousands of his own people.  The U.S. provided minimal participation to oust Gaddafi but that fellow did not want President Obama to be involved in removing the murderous dictator.  A fourth fellow wanted the U.S. to do more drilling in this country.  He wants lower gasoline prices.  The U.S.  hit peak oil production decades ago.  Since Obama has been President, the U.S. has produced more oil each year than during any of the last four years of the Bush administration.  What was that fellow thinking?  Our dollar is cheap because of low interest rates; we are in stiff competition for what is left of the rest of the world’s supply of the scarce goo.  If we want lower fuel prices, we need to invest in renewable energy.  What were these four writers thinking?  And why is it that the Star would not publish my letter?
