The election of Obama comes down to this. Your grandmother and I, your mother and other productive wage-earning taxpayers will have their taxes increased and that means less income. Less income means we will have to cut back on basic purchases, gifts and handouts. That includes firing the lady who cleans our house twice a month. She just lost her job. We can't afford her anymore, and the guys that cut the grass, and the guys the clean the pool, and high speed internet, and the TV cable or Dish, I forget which one we have, and the cell phone service, and the dog groomers, etc...
We also will be having more pot luck dinners - that's where you bring the food, since we won't be able to feed everyone anymore. Baby sitting? See the above jobs that I'll now be doing instead of paying someone to do them, so I'll be too busy to watch the kids. No more pizza nights for watching the games; can't afford the pizza and don't have the sports channel anymore. I feel sorry for all the folks that used to work for those companies I can no longer afford. Their houses will be foreclosed soon.
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., 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 or leave cash in an envelope taped to his front door.
It's like this. Those who vote for the president 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, etc.). What Obama voters don't seem to realize is that the government's money comes from taxes collected from taxpaying families. Raising taxes on productive people mean 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 kids, but call the number listed above when you need help.
