Post Re: Letter from the Boss
Excellent method of elimination. Check this one out.

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 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, fancy
restaurants, 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 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, non working,
Americans (deemed "less fortunate") comes from tax money collected from hard
working, 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,

Grandpa
