GETTING OURS BACK

Samantha Spivack cleverly tries to convince us that Ed Rosenthal fell 
victim to federal drug laws because California accepts about $50 billion in 
federal funds for things like highways and other items ("The feds versus 
Ed," Feb. 11). A "sugar daddy," she calls the feds.

What she doesn't say is that Californians paid more than $96 billion in 
federal taxes last year. We're not getting charity; we're not even getting 
our share.
