Ken Garst: Wealthy suck all they can out of the working class

I love all the letters about how the “wealthy” earn all they can suck out of the working class. I recently I drove through the agricultural country west of Santa Cruz. The temperature was over 100 degrees and the fields were filled with workers bending and picking.

I also drove west on Hawkeye in Turlock and the streets featured workers dressed in protective clothing repairing the nearly impassable street. The temperature is over 100 degrees. Are these the people who do “nothing to earn it”?

Please keep your worship of the Koch brothers in church, not in the newspaper.

Ken Garst, Turlock
