Letter To The Editor: Americanism and the Elite Few

I think Americanism for regular people is to go to school- get a job. Try to save your money, to get a car. Some try to buy a house. If you work and live our USA will look out for us with social security. These regular citizens make up 98 percent of our population (poor and middle class).
