Dear Editor: Secure retirement is out of reach for many New Jersey residents and income taxes on retirement benefits makes this problem worse.

Dear Editor: There are many reasons Trump could destroy America. He is too proud to ask forgiveness and does not forgive others. Proverb 15:15 “The lord will destroy the house of the proud”.

There is nothing alleged either in Hillary’s vicious bullying of the many women who were victims of Bill’s voracious predations. Al …
Dear Editor: I’ve been a voter for 37 years and am one of the 2.6 million New Jersey voters who have chosen not to affiliate with a political party. We make up 48 percent of the NJ electorate, significantly more than the two major parties with Democrats comprising 32 percent and Republicans 20 percent. Independents …
Dear Editor: Super wealthy Americans have only themselves to blame if they are perturbed by Bernie Sanders’s strong showing in this year’s presidential campaign. When will today’s One Percent understand what their more enlightened predecessors figured out after World War II?: Enabling workers to prosper by offering full-time jobs which pay decent wages makes our …
Dear Editor: Just a few things that are on my mind. First, I would like to remind T.Weed, that when he was in the service and during Vietnam, they had a draft. The media and the government have to glorify “service”, to get people of quality to join the military, or they will have to …
