Letter: Socialism for the rich, capitalism for the rest of us

There are several words that came to me as I read The Tribune’s coverage of Gov. Gary Herbert’s State of the State address! Hypocrisy, fear, despair and incredulous.

Incredulous, because Republicans like Herbert and the our legislators keep getting elected here in Utah, as though the wealth is actually trickling down to the slaves.

Despair, because voters here seem to believe what Republicans say, without question, or without informing themselves through other sources.

Fear came to mind because of Herbert’s comment how he is “disturbed of our youths fascination with socialism,” and how being like Venezuela would be the result!
