GrandPa's Letter
I 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
ob. 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 1-800-white house. 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
Love you Susan, but call the number listed above when you need help.
GrandPa
Remember: The government cannot give to anyone anything that it does
not first take from someone else.
