Story insults Americans and immigrants
Re “C’est la vie,” Feb. 12: Just because someone was born in America doesn’t mean they’re selfish, unable to relish life despite financial concern and unused to hardship. This generalization of the American-born public compared to immigrants is even harder to swallow in light of the fact that legal and illegal immigrants have been the hardest hit during this recession.

Mayoral election not fair when Mike spends
Why does everyone fall for the hype that it is legal for Mayor Michael Bloomberg to spend five times more money than his opponents in elections? The sole reason Mike does this is to subvert elections. Fair elections are the law, and anyone trying to cheat that fairness is guilty of many crimes, including, perhaps, treason. We all know why Bloomberg spends so much more than his opponents: He knows he cannot win in a fair fight. He promised us in 2001 that he wouldn’t cheat the 2005 election as he had done in 2001. And again he spits in the face of democracy and says he’ll buy another election.

Government needs health care reform
It’s time to keep promises. Is the government going to give back to us, and guarantee us our basic rights to health care? Or are we simply expendable fodder for profit and industry? The people demand socialized medicine, whatever the elite media might spout.
