This says it all----------Please read it all and pay real attention to the
bottom half,
GRANDPA.....
Important, read the bottom part Re: PS:
and let it sink in. A lot of voters forgot about this.
John G. is 63 years old and owns a small business. He's a
life-long Republican and sees his dream of retiring next year has all but
evaporated. With the stock market crashing and new taxes coming his way, John
assumes now that he will work to his dying day.
John has a granddaughter.
Ashley is a recent college grad. She drives a flashy hybrid car, wears all the
latest fashions, and loves to go out to nightclubs and restaurants. Ashley
campaigned hard for Barack Obama. After the election she made sure her
grandfather (and all other Republican family members) received a big I
told-you-so earful on how the world is going to be a much better place now that
her party is taking over.
Having lost both roommates, Ashley recently ran
short of cash and cannot pay the rent (again) on her 3 bedroom townhouse... Like
she has done many times in the past, she e-mailed her grandfather asking for
some financial help.
Here is his reply:
Sweetheart, I
received your request for assistance. Ashley, you know I love you dearly and I'm
sympathetic to your financial plight. Unfortunately, times have changed. With
the election of President Obama, your grandmother and I have had to set forth a
bold new economic plan of our own...."The Ashley Economic Empowerment Plan." Let
me explain.
Your grandmother and I are life-long, wage-earning tax
payers. We have lived a comfortable life, as you know, but we have never had the
fancier things like European vacations, luxury cars, etc... We have worked hard
and were looking forward to retiring soon. But the plan has changed. Your
president is raising our personal and business taxes significantly. He says it
is so he can give our hard earned money to other people... Do you know what this
means, Ashley? It means less for us, and we must cut back on many business and
personal expenses.
You know the wonderful receptionist who worked in my
office for more than 23 years? The one who always gave you candy when you came
over to visit? I had to let her go last week. I can't afford to pay her salary
and all of the government mandated taxes that go with having employees.... Your
grandmother will now work 4 days a week to answer phones, take orders and handle
the books. We will be closed on Fridays and will lose even more income.
I'm also very sorry to report that your cousin Frank will no longer be
working summers in the warehouse. I called him at school this morning. He
already knows about it and he's upset because he will have to give up skydiving
and his yearly trip to Greenland to survey the polar bears.
That's just
the business side of things. Some personal economic effects of Obama's new
taxation policies include none other than you. You know very well that over the
years your grandmother and I have given you thousands of dollars in cash,
tuition assistance, food, housing, clothing, gifts, etc., etc. But by your vote,
you have chosen to help others -- not at your expense -- but at our expense.
If you need money now sweetheart, I recommend you call 202-456-1111
202-456-1111 202-456-1111 202-456-1111 . That is the direct phone number for the
White House.. You can also contact the White House here: http://www.whitehouse.gov/CONTACT/%C2%A0;...
You yourself told me how foolish it is to vote
Republican... You said Mr. Obama is going to be the People's President, and is
going to help every American live a better life. Based on everything you've told
me, along with all the promises we heard during the campaign, I'm sure Mr. Obama
will be happy to transfer some stimulus money into your bank account. Have him
call me for the account number which I memorized years ago.
Perhaps you
can now understand what I've been saying all my life: Those who vote for a
president should consider the impact on the nation as a whole, and not be just
concerned with what they can get for themselves. What Obama supporters don't
seem to realize is all of the money he is redistributing to illegal aliens and
non-taxpaying Americans (the so-called "less fortunate") comes from tax-paying
families.
Remember how you told me, "Only the richest of the rich will
be affected"? Well guess what, honey? Because we own a business, your
grandmother and I are now considered to be the richest of the rich. On paper, it
might look that way, but in the real world, we are far from it..
As you
said while campaigning for Obama, some people will have to carry more of the
burden so all of America can prosper... You understand what that means, right?
It means that raising taxes on productive people results in them having less
money; less money for everything, including granddaughters.
I'm sorry,
Ashley, but the well has run dry. The free lunches are over... I have no money
to give you now. So, congratulations on your choice for "change." For future
reference, I encourage you to try and add up the total value of the gifts and
cash you have received from us, just since you went off to college, and compare
it to what you expect to get from Mr. Obama over the next 4 (or 8) years. I have
not kept track of it, Ashley. It has all truly been the gift of our hearts.
Remember, we love you dearly.... but from now on you'll need to call the
number mentioned above. Your "Savior" has the money we would have given to you.
Just try and get it from him.
Good luck, sweetheart.
Love, Grandpa
P. S.
This tells the whole story, why Bush was so bad at the end
of his term.
Don ' t just skim over this, it ' s not long, but read it
slowly and let it sink in. If in doubt, check it out!
The day the democrats took over
was not January 22nd 2009, it was actually January 3rd 2007, the
day
democrats took over the House of Representatives and the Senate, at the very
start of the 110th Congress.
The Democrat Party controlled a majority in both chambers
for the first time since the end of the 103rd Congress in
1995.
For
those who are listening to the liberals propagating the fallacy that everything
is "Bush ' s Fault", think about this:
January 3rd, 2007 was the day the Democrats took
over the Senate and the Congress.
At the time:
The DOW Jones closed at $12,621.77
The GDP for the previous quarter was
3.5%
The
Unemployment rate was 4.6%
George Bush ' s Economic policies SET A RECORD of 52
STRAIGHT MONTHS of JOB GROWTH!
Remember the day...
January 3rd, 2007 was the day that
Barney Frank took over the House Financial Services Committee and Chris Dodd
took over the Senate Banking Committee.
The economic meltdown that happened 15
months later was in what part of the economy?
BANKING AND FINANCIAL
SERVICES!
Unemployment... to this CRISIS by (among MANY other things)
dumping 5-6 TRILLION Dollars of toxic loans
on the economy from YOUR Fannie Mae and
Freddie Mac FIASCOES!
Bush asked Congress 17 TIMES to stop Fannie &
Freddie - starting in 2001 because it was financially risky
for the US
economy.
And who took the THIRD highest pay-off from Fannie Mae AND
Freddie Mac? BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA!
And who fought against reform of Fannie and
Freddie?
OBAMA and the Democrat Congress
So when someone tries to blame
Bush..
REMEMBER JANUARY 3rd, 2007.... THE DAY THE DEMOCRATS
TOOK OVER!"
Budgets do not come from the White House. They come from
Congress and the party that controlled Congress
since January 2007 is the
Democrat Party.
Furthermore, the Democrats controlled the budget process
for 2008 & 2009 as well as 2010 & 2011.
In that first year, they had to contend with George Bush,
which caused them to compromise on spending,
when Bush somewhat belatedly got tough
on spending increases.
For 2009 though, Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid bypassed
George Bush entirely, passing continuing resolutions
to keep government
running until Barack Obama could take office. At that time, they passed a
massive omnibus
spending bill
to complete the 2009 budgets.
And where was Barack Obama during this time? He was a
member of that very Congress that passed all of these
massive spending
bills, and he signed the omnibus bill as President to complete
2009.
If
the Democrats inherited any deficit, it was the 2007 deficit, the last of the
Republican budgets.
That deficit was the lowest in five years, and the
fourth straight decline in deficit spending.
After that, Democrats in Congress took
control of spending, and that includes Barack Obama, who voted for the
budgets.
If
Obama inherited anything, he inherited it from himself.
In a
nutshell, what Obama is saying is "I inherited a deficit that
I voted for and then I voted to expand that deficit four-fold
since January 20th."
There is no way this will be widely
publicized,
unless each of us sends it on!
"Apparently, I'm supposed to be more angry
about what Mitt Romney does with his money than what Barack Obama does with
mine."—
