Becky Ylitalo, Badger, Minn., column: Should song title be ‘America the Hypocritical’?
Companies demand more and more out of us, placing unrealistic demands that ultimately hurt families at the core. Incomes drop as taxes and insurance premiums rise. Public education falters due to harsh state and federal mandates.
And as a result, middle-class Americans are the ones who suffer.

Edward Halas, Grand Forks, column: Listen, and you’ll hear U.S. ‘Coming Apart'
Under the law, we all are born equal — but we are not born with the same mental and physical capabilities nor the same social environment. If society cannot find a solution for the Joeys of our country, then the separation into two tribes will become ever greater. The end will not be pretty.

Ed Rasmussen, Bagley, Minn., letter: Minnesota millionaires pay too little in taxes

Milo Mathison, Mentor, Minn., letter: Some are more equal than others
It concerns me when Congress, wrestling with the debt crisis, considers cutting funding from many programs helping the poor rather than raising taxes on the rich.

N.D. has fewest high-net-worth millionaires
If North Dakota’s biggest millionaires wanted to gamble with their peers, they’d have a hard time getting a seat at the high-stakes table of ultra-high-net-worth millionaires in the country.
That’s because North Dakota has just 40 UHNW millionaires — those with a net worth of at least $30 million. That’s fewer than any other state.

Peter Schiefelbein, Grand Forks, letter: Wealthy should pay fair Social Security share
It begins to look as though average Americans have been suckered into paying for most of the cost of running government when they thought they were paying for old-age security.
And if Social Security is allowed to collapse, that will indeed be the case.

OUR OPINION: Equality v. efficiency: The central trade-off
