How to get “free stuff”

If illegal aliens can get free health care by simply going to the emergency room, why doesn’t everyone do it?

What would happen if everyone told the doctor they were here illegally? Would they get free health care, too? That would be great. We really could have universal health care — one payee, the government. Or really it would be the taxpayers.

I wonder what else I could get for free. How many laws could I break without fear of punishment if I simply said I was here illegally? If we can decide our gender regardless of biology, I guess we can decide our legal status — especially if it will get us free stuff.

LETTER: Sonia Sotomayor, retirement and race

Using race to justify or condemn the action of others is simply wrong and, some would say, the definition of racism. We are all one people.

LETTER: Is there another Joe Biden out there?

Both the front-runner presidential candidates should step aside and give us some choices who are younger and have fresh ideas to get us out of the $35 trillion debt.

LETTER: Deciphering progressive jargon

I noticed recently that euphemisms are commonly used by progressives in order to make the agenda they support seem less harsh or unpleasant.

LETTER: Biden ignores the Supreme Court on student loans

Biden is constantly harping on how Trump is a threat to democracy and will be a dictator, eliminating our freedoms. It is Biden, however, who has proven himself the dictator who is threatening democracy.

LETTER: More on 1968

As a cop who was at not only at the 1968 Democratic convention at the Conrad Hilton on Michigan Avenue, but also the Chicago arson fires on the west side, I feel there were many reasons why the city was a tinderbox.
