LETTER: Green New Deal an assault on capitalist system

Light of reality

It is time to shed the light of reality on the new darling of the Leftist Party (Democrats), U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.

She is spreading sedition in an effort to subvert the established government in the U.S.

Her Green New Deal and her assault on capitalism is a clear blueprint for recreating Soviet-style communism in America.

It would give government control over agriculture, transportation, energy production, the use and even ownership of private property and severely restrict many individual liberties.

She has recruited many other leftists to her program, many of whom are elected to office and some intend to run for president.

This is not some fanciful idea.

These people are in a position to advance this program.

They would institute a social system that would make us all mediocre together, with no incentive for self-improvement.

Let’s not forget a health care system that would put us all into a long line for care.

This proposal is a clear and present danger to our 200-year-old form of government and our individual freedoms.

It must be stopped.
