Letters: Republican tax plan should help veterans, not the rich

Re “GOP tax cuts would hammer California’s poor” (Viewpoints, Nov. 7): On Veterans Day, let us remember that veterans who are waiting months for medical assistance due to lack of staffing and funding at VA hospitals. PBS recently aired the documentary, “The Human Cost of War,” to highlight this national tragedy. Huge tax cuts for the wealthy and federal deficits will exacerbate this problem. Let’s tell our politicians that we want to make life better for our military veterans, not the wealthy people who do not need our help. This is the most effective and most sincere way to thank veterans for their service.
