Lee Lucas writes that having cheap labor is more important to financial markets than lower taxes.
To the Editor:
The international finance community hates Donald Trump.
They seek to enslave the working class because they want low-cost labor. So, even if Trump is elected as president and lowers their U.S. taxes, international financiers will still hate him.
International financiers don't want nation-states anymore. They don't want borders anymore.
Notice how U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, who ran for the Democratic presidential nomination as a socialist, ended up endorsing Hillary Clinton, his opponent in the primaries. For about the 1,000th time, I must point out the weird alliance between socialism and Wall Street, with which Clinton has close ties. They are together, and have been since World War II.
The liberal corporate media are systematically stirring up hatred against Trump. Their bias against this presidential nominee is historic. No longer does the corporate media seek to inform people. It exists to push, guide and manipulate public opinion.
Trump has a lot of support within the white working class. International financiers would prefer a new work force. When England voted to leave the European Union, partly over a desire to restrict immigration, Wall Street had a fit. Here in America, Trump and his nationalism are a a threat to Wall Street's power.
Maybe WikiLeaks' founder Julian Assange will release Clinton's emails that were "lost" from when she was secretary of state. Assange is the hero of the world; a man of science; a seeker of the truth. His idealism shines like a beacon for the whole world to see.
If Hillary Clinton is elected, America going forward is not going to be the country we grew up in.

Philly teams MIA from first sports page
To the Editor:
Did we recently have a fault-line eruption that resulted in a geometric plate slide putting South Jersey closer to New York City than Philadelphia?
Why am I looking at the front page of the South Jersey Times sports section on Sunday (Aug. 14) seeing a story about the New York Yankees -- when I should have been reading about the Phillies' exciting third win in a row during their alumni weekend? There was also a front-page story about a New York Giants' pre-season football game.
On Saturday (Aug. 13), the Times' sports section also had front-page stories on the same two despicable, New York-area teams (including Alex Rodriguez' farewell to the Yankees).
Do you have a new sports editor from New York? Send him north to peddle his papers and give us more stories about our local teams. I'm not my paying bills to you for a subscription to the NEW YORK Times.
