The Taxpayer on April 15
Tax filing deadline day is synonymous with stress and apprehension for businessmen and women everywhere in America since it’s a reminder that they have to fork over such significant portions of their hard-earned income to a government that so many feel like they have no control over and behaves in ways that they might even oppose on moral grounds (wars, pork barrel projects, etc.). Let’s take a moment and remember tomorrow the ones who truly makes America great, the taxpayers. Without the taxpayer, who grinds and toils away to achieve The American Dream, we wouldn’t be the greatest country in world history.

Sean Spicer
The press secretary for President Donald Trump, who has Rhode Island roots, finds himself in hot water after saying that Hitler didn’t use chemical weapons on his own people. It’s alarming that someone so insensitive and lacking in eloquence holds such an important job in the Trump administration.

United Airlines
The airline disgraced itself this week after it forcibly ejected a ticket holding passenger named David Dao, who refused to give up his seat after the staff demanded that he do so in order to accommodate the wishes of the company, which needed to transport flight staff to another airplane. Almost as disgraceful in their actions were the mainstream media outlets that began digging into the past of the passenger in an attempt to vilify the victim.

Food Bank Closure
One of the larger food pantries in the state of Rhode Island, South Providence Neighborhood Matters, which was located on Broad Street in Providence, was forced to close its doors after more than 30 years due to financial problems. It’s disconcerting that the state of Rhode Island, which fashions itself as so progressive and helping of the poor, would let this organization that’s been so dedicated to helping the less fortunate, fail.
