A letter from grandfather‏

[Adatise]

Letter from a Grandfather:John is 63 years old and owns his own business. He is a lifelong 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 affects 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 voting 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 your 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 taxpaying 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.

PS: How was your recent trip to Jamaica? I have never been there but I hear it is lovely this time of year.

True, unfortunately over half of the American people failed consider the impact as a whole, They were brainwashed by the media and the Obama campaign that "Good" change is coming... Not to mention having the first black President, who was younger and better looking that his opponent.

Great post Paul

With all the Obama supporters here on DNF, I think your right. Sometimes the truth brings out the worst in people.

Government always screws people. There is no such thing as 'good' government. Now the situation is bad enough already, government has 'changed' but the problems remain.
Like the national debt, it's not going away any time soon.
Just because you're deep in the hole and desperate, does that mean you can afford war, mismanagement and reckless spending on top of it.

Granpa sounds like an ass as if the tax hikes are going to hit him (they haven't even been put in place yet?) he must be netting 300-500k a year.

He sounds like a smart businessman to me, a Man that plans ahead.

And Grandpa forgot to mention about the healthcare he'll be forced to pay for his employees, Oh never mind, he let his only employee go.

Obama "Putting more people out of work"

Our socialist plot to destroy America seems to be going quite well. Once we have taken all of Grampa's money away, we will march him to the Gulag and work him to death.

Its a false analogy that doesn't work out in real life. Just more fodder for the sheeple.

That was a well written piece of propaganda. Karl Rove would be proud.......

March?

Heck no.

We'll RFID tag him so the aliens can use transport beams to put him in the FEMA camps after we forge "Barack Obama" on his birth certificate.
