Letter: Tax plan hurts most of us

If you are wondering about the effect of the Republican tax plan, and its endorsement of unrestrained capitalism, you have already had several childhood experiences that will mirror your future.

Remember Monopoly?

That is the essence of unrestrained capitalism, namely greed unencumbered by “burdensome regulations.”

Well, those of us in the 99 percent are now merely trying to get around the board, while the Trumps and other “1 percenters” are building hotels on places we can’t even afford to park in front of. We’ll be lucky to rent a squalid flat on Mediterranean Avenue.

Keep this in mind next November: Vote for your family members and neighbors in the 99 percent.
