This is in response to a Sun Journal article Oct. 4 about a Goverment Accountability Office study that found federal government officials freely helping themselves to hardworking taxpayer dollars for first-class airline flights for pleasure trips. I was tempted to ask, “Are the foxes in charge of watching the chickens?”

I am sick and tired of being nickeled-and-dimed to death with mounting, foolish taxes for this and that, just to see it used for recreation and fun by those foxes.
