Telling the Real Story on Rising Prices

To The Editor: No matter what we look like or where we live, most Fayette County residents work hard for our families. But the same corporations that hold down our wages are bragging to their Wall St. shareholders about raising our local prices. And every time Democrats tackle price gouging, Trump Republicans try to block it, including the newly enacted Inflation Reduction Act that makes healthcare more affordable, lowers energy and prescription drug prices, and ensures corporations pay what they owe in taxes.

These Trump Republicans want to take away our freedoms, from our freedom to provide for our families to our freedom to vote to our freedom to decide whether we have kids.

We deserve bona fide elected leaders who side with working people over corporate donors. That’s how we protect our Fayette County freedoms, our families, and our futures.
