Editor,
What do you call a system of government where the leader of the government tells private companies how much they can profit, who they should select as CEO, how much revenue private companies need to share with the government, or where they need to manufacture?
How about firing employees that publish data that the leader does not agree with?
How about telling news agencies what they can say or not say?
Please enlighten me, because it is not the system that was used in the United States of America for nearly 250 years.

Thanks for updating us, Mr. Surraco, on the latest set of Democrat talking points. Could you please enlighten us on the system where Hillary and treasonous Obama colluded to release a Russian Collusion Delusion? How about the lawfare and targeted actions by treasonous Biden against President Trump. And here in California, how about Newsom attempting to silence criticism of the COVID jab and picking and choosing which businesses need to shut down. Newsom’s threat to democracy in his gerrymandering antics and attempts to take away 2nd Amendment rights of law abiding citizens. And of course, Democrats of all stripes providing more aid and comfort to criminals than American citizens, pushing for biological males to compete against biological females. The list goes one. Seems to me the system that was used in the USA for nearly 250 years has already been co-opted by Democrats. Thanks to our (yes, our) great President Trump, the system you hope for is returning. Have a Trump-tastic day!
Excuse me Bill - perhaps you are to young but Presidents Wilson and Lincoln suspended many provisions of our Constitution and silenced newspapers. Wasn't it Truman who nationalized the railroad system? Others imposed price controls. Do your homework before you fire off your exaggerated accusations.
With too many people so easily fooled that they elect someone as incompetent, uneducated and self -centered as Trump, twice, we can expect someone with growing dictatorial ambitions!
