A Letter from Grandpa
Guess you heard that 68% of the youth vote went to
Obama. My granddaughter
called this morning to tell me she was one of them.
I
replied with this
e-mail:
Dear Susan,
The election of Obama comes down to this. Your
grandmother and I,
your mother, and other productive, wage-earning tax
payers will have
their taxes increased and that means less income left
over. Less
income means we will have to cut back on basic
purchases, gifts and
handouts.
That includes firing the Hispanic lady who cleans our
house twice a
month. She just lost her job. We can't afford her
anymore.
What is the economic effect of Obama's election
on you personally?
Over the years, your grandmother and I have given you
thousands of
dollars in food, housing, cash, clothing, gifts, etc.
By your vote,
you have chosen another family over ours for help.
So
in the future,
if you need assistance with your rent, money for gas,
tires for your
car, someone to bring you lunch, etc. .... call
202-456-1111. That's
the telephone number for the Office of the President
of the United
States. I'm sure Mr. Obama will be happy to send a
check from his
personal or business accounts, as we have, or leave
cash in an
envelope taped to his front door for you, as we have.
It's like this. Those who vote for the President
of the United States
should consider what the impact of an election will
be on the nation
as a whole and not just be concerned with what they
can get for
themselves (welfare, stimulus checks, etc.). What
Obama voters don't
seem to realize is that the government's money
comes from taxes
collected from tax paying families..
Raising taxes on
productive
people means they will have less money to spend on
their families.
Congratulations on your choice. For future reference,
you might
attempt to add up all you've received from us,
your mom, Mike's
parents and others and compare it to what you expect
to get over the
next four years from Mr. Obama.
To congratulate Mr. Obama and to make sure you're
on the list for
handouts, write to:
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Ave. NW
Washington , DC 20500
I
Love you Susan,
(but call the number listed above when you need help)
