Michael Ramirez had a quote above his Wednesday editorial cartoon stating that the Inflation Reduction Act raises taxes. Readers should know that taxes will be raised only on corporations making more than $1 billion or people making more than $400,000. I’d surmise this tax will have no effect on most Review-Journal readers.

Additionally, the cartoonist ignores the facts that this act will dramatically reduce prescription drug prices for every American and will also begin to combat climate change. A man does not sin by commission only, but often by omission.

Using race to justify or condemn the action of others is simply wrong and, some would say, the definition of racism. We are all one people.
