Kathleen Cahill: A Thanksgiving letter to the president

As we enter the Thanksgiving season, I wanted to write to say thank you. You are amazing. You have opened my eyes.

Until there was you, I believed, in my naivete, that we are a government of checks and balances in a nation of laws, laws that our elected representatives are sworn to uphold. And that we have core values in our American hearts. I know the term “core values” is not very specific, but I know they involve concepts like truth and justice. And about how the laws — especially the tax laws — are for the rich to get richer, etc, etc, etc.
