About 30 supporters of John Olson met this morning at the Democrat Headquarters of Tulsa County on the 10th floor of the Sun Building in downtown Tulsa. We started at 9:00 am and finished around 2:00 pm, breaking for lunch which was catered in for us. This was a day of training for precinct chairs. I am the chair of precinct 855.
John Olson is a veteran of Afghanistan who is opposed by Jim Bridenstine. Bridenstine is supported by the Tea Party. Bridenstine has called for the elimination of the capital gains tax and the estate tax. Both actions would benefit primarily the extremely wealthy. He would replace the loss of revenue by imposing a 30% national sales tax. Such a draconian tax would likely cause the economy to come to a grinding halt.
I have been reading a fantastic book written by Thomas J. Mooney titled Live Forever or Die Trying. As soon as I finish the book, I will have more to say about it.
