> A LETTER FROM GRANDPA
>
>
>
>
>
> John is 63 years old and owns his own business. He is a life-long
> Republican and sees his dream of retiring next year is now all but gone.
> With the stock market crashing and all the new taxes coming his way,
> John knows he will be working for a good number more years.
>
> John has a Granddaughter. Ashley is a recent college grad. She drives a
> late model car, wears all the latest fashions, and also likes going out
> and eating out a lot. Ashley campaigned hard for Obama, and after he won
> the election she made sure her Grandfather (and all other Republican
> family members) received more than an earful on how the world is going
> to be a much better place now that Obama won the election.
>
> Ashley recently found herself short of cash and cannot pay her bills,
> again.. As she has done many other times in the past, she e-mailed her
> Grandfather asking for some financial help. Here is his reply:
>
> "Sweetheart,
>
> I am replying to your request for more money. Ashley, you know I love
> you dearly and am 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 Plan'. Let me explain. Your grandmother and
> I are highly productive, wage-earning tax payers. As you know, we have
> lived a comfortable life and in return have forgone many things like
> fancy vacations, luxury cars, etc. We have worked hard and were looking
> forward to retiring soon. But this plan has changed. Your president is
> significantly raising our personal and business taxes. 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 income for us. Less income means we must
> cut back on many business and personal expenditures. One example is, we
> were forced to let go of our receptionist today. You know her. She
> always gave you candy when you visited my office. Did you know she
> worked for us for the past 18 years? I can't afford her anymore.
>
> That is a taste of the business side. 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. By your vote, you have chosen another family over ours for
> help. Judging from your Email requesting more money, I recommend you
> call 202-456-1111. That is the direct telephone number for the White
> House. You yourself repeatedly told me I was foolish 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 upon everything you have
> told me and things we heard from him as he campaigned, I am sure Mr..
> Obama will be happy to send a check or transfer money into your checking
> account. Have him call me for the transaction and account numbers, which
> by now I know by heart.
>
> Perhaps you now can understand what I have been saying for all my life:
> 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 all of the "government's" money he is
> 'redistributing' to illegal aliens and non-taxpaying Americans (deemed
> "less fortunate") comes from tax money collected from income tax-paying
> families. Remember how you told me, "Only the richest of the rich will
> be affected"? Guess what, honey? Because of our 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. But, 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.
>
> Congratulations on your choice for "change". For future reference, I
> encourage you to attempt to add up the total value of the gifts and
> money you've received from us over the years, and compare it to what you
> expect to get over the next four years from Mr. Obama.
>
> Remember, we love you dearly... but from now on you'll need to call the
> number referenced above when you need help.
>
> Good luck, sweetheart.
>
> Love,
> Grampa.
