The
letter below is what I sent to the Obamas from my husband and me. I
guess he did what I asked concerning taxes on the rich --starting at
$400,000 (or was it $450,000?) instead of $250,000 which would have meant increasing taxes on millions of
job-creating, small-business-people making less the uber rich--and yet well-off - like
the bourgeoise (the middle class and business class) of Russia when
Communists took over and pitted the proletariat (blue collar worker)
against the bourgeoise, taking over their businesses, houses and lands
for the state.)

Dear Mr. President and Mrs. Obama:
We --and the Romney-supporters (half the country) really do want to
like you with your nice smile, great charisma and lovely family. We
want to be glad that you were re-elected. You can help us do that. We
don’t want to think you have communistic sympathies or a colonialist
view of the U.S. nor plans to disarm our country with promises to Putin.
You did say in your speech a few moments ago that the top 2
per cent of the nation make $250,000 or more and should be taxed more.
Those include mostly the lower end of that income, the small business
owners and various professionals --who live like “middle-class” --rather
than the super-rich of the top 1/2 per cent like yourself and the
ultimate uber rich like Romney and other million dollar -plus a year
people. Those making high 5 figures, and 6 figures up to $250,000 are
Marx's bourgeois --the middle class educated conservatives whom
Communists destroyed. According to 2009 and Tax Payers Union, it was
$344,000 that the top 1 per cent make. There aren’t very many
uber-rich who make millions like Romney, Hollywood celebs, uni coaches
and presidents and CEO's of big corporations --not enough of them to
slow the deficit if you keep adding more people to the poverty rolls,
approving pork and new billion dollar spending packages and sending
tons of money to other nations' corrupt governments.
Please
surprise the half of the country that supported Romney. We are scared
to death of your agenda --what we perceive it to be--and the radical
influences in your past. Please prove us wrong. Show that you can cut
programs for which we should not borrow from China. We know --that
means lost public sector jobs --but if China is paying them, they have
to go. If they are valuable employees in a department we don’t really
need, they will find work elsewhere in a more prosperous private sector
--i.e. more prosperous if you don't tax them down.
We suggest
you not raise taxes EXCEPT SLIGHTLY on the uber rich -- the top 1/2 per
cent. You still want them to be inclined to invest, hire, spend and
give. Learn from business people who know how to succeed at business
and know how taxes impact growth. The Government needs way too much
revenue because of the horrible level of spending. Let Big Bird support
Public Broadcasting. He can do it. They can sell muppets. As for
Public Radio, put Garrison Keillor’s Prairie Home Companion on every day
and we’ll send them a donation. PBS is not neutral enough politically
that they should deserve tax-payer support. They speak in their
measured, neutral, unemotional tones --leaning WAY to the left --as far
left as Fox News speaks excitedly with no pretense of neutrality, to the
right. But Fox raises their own money. So can NPR. (Note: “fair and
balanced” doesn’t mean neutral. Gov’t stations should be neutral.)
Planned Parenthood shouldn't get public funding if pro-life Pregnancy
Centers and clinics don't. The poor women will still get healthcare
using their medicaid cards and the public health clinics.
You
must move toward the center if you would meet the Republicans half way
and end the supposed gridlock. Your determination should be NO NEW
SPENDING --and the elimination of all non-essential spending and
departments that don’t directly impact the needy or the elderly or the
ill. Send the education of the nation back to the locals. Shut down
the federal department of education. Send the school breakfast program
to the churches. Promote volunteer tutoring by the elderly in every
public school. Note that Christian and parochial and home schools
educate best on way less money.
And for goodness sakes,
PLEASE deliver to the nation’s youth Santorum’s message from your bully
pulpit. The 3things to do to avoid poverty: “Finish high school; get a
job; get married before having children--( and stay married if possible.
Stay faithful. ) If you do even the first 3 things on this list, 98%
of you will be above poverty line; 77% will be above average in income.”
There really is a correlation between family stability and morality and
the strength of communities and nations. You are for gay marriage, but
ought not be, because children deserve a mother and father when
possible. Gay marriage deprives them of one or the other by its very
nature. Nor should gays share quarters with straights (or with each
other) in military. It’s like putting men and women together in showers
and barracks--completely distracting to the mission of military
preparedness. Homosexuality does spread --from the experienced to the
inexperienced, and like drugs, becomes addictive. No evidence yet that
we are born homosexual. U. of Texas published a 2012 study that said
the adult children of homosexual parent are among the most miserable and
dysfunctional of all young adults.
Please be better than
conservatives expect. Seriously try to understand the logic and reason
behind conservatism and their criticism of your party and policies.
Communism hasn’t been appreciated anywhere where it is tried. Socialism
leads to the fiscal cliff --sliding like Greece--and you’ve got us on
the edge. Surprise us --and do not push us over. Don’t tax us highly
now or you will kill business and jobs. People are thinking of moving
out of country for fear you will rob them of their pensions --either
through confiscation of high taxes or bad economy, inflation, devaluing
of the dollar, etc.
We are afraid of having our lives
shortened by your Canada-style health care program. Let someone tweak
that program! We don't want the long waits and rationing of Canadian
healthcare! Canadians come HERE for procedures they can't get in a
timely manner in Canada. Start with TORT REFORM. Doctors and insurance
companies settle out of court for 100,000 rather than go to trial and
risk jury’s compassion for miserable patients suing for a million
dollars. Doctors rightly fear that the jury will consider only the
patient’s misery, thinking it will cost no one if the insurance company
pays the patient without proving malpractice. In fact, the costs of
such suits and mal-practice insurance are a big cost in healthcare.
As for national security and disarming Americans, we hope you are just
the fun-loving, congenial and kindly public servant, Barack Obama from
Hawaii --and not a Stalin or Hitler in the making who was mentored by
Communists and other radicals, as some suspect.
Seek good
successful businessmen’s advice and not just socialists’ advice. They
have never made any nation solvent. Put Romney on your cabinet! Because
he does like to solve financial problems. Wow! That would be a
uniting act. Listen to Ryan, too. We are in a mess. Let them try to
help!
We shall pray for you
daily--that you really ARE a Christian as you told Rick Warren --or
will become one and that you will seek God’s guidance on all matters
before you --not Marx’s advice, nor Alinsky’s, nor Ayers, nor Davis’s.
Only Jesus rose from the grave. He is the only one worthy to save us
for Eternity. Atheists can’t give you wise guidance like the Holy
Spirit and the Word of God can. Your stands on abortion and
homosexuality --and lukewarm relationship with Israel, are all 3 in
contradiction to His Word and His Spirit and need to be reconsidered if
the nation would be blessed. Separation of church and state doesn't
mean God is not real --and has no say in the country's values which
shape national culture and character.
Forgive us for any misjudgment of your character and intentions, and prove all the naysayers wrong.
Sincerely --wanting to admire you--
wanting your term to be successful
in the eyes of God and informed Americans,
Dr. & Mrs._______________

"We are scared to death of your agenda --what we perceive it to be..."
Well, there's your perception of his agenda, tainted no doubt by Hannity, Beck, Limbaugh and the rest of the right-wing radio terrorists. They tell you people what to believe because you refuse to think for yourselves (as evidenced by your childish, ridiculous rant.)
And then there's reality. I won't try to argue points with you; you're too far gone for reason. It will never stop amazing me that so many people think the secrets of life can be found in a book written by primitive man in the Bronze Age. Keep on hatin' (I read some of your stuff on gays and lesbians - you are one sick human being) while trying to pass it off as God's pure love. He must be awfully proud of you.
Say, Ken, I marvel that you found my blog. Do I know you? Actually, the talking heads are not my sources. I read a lot and have always done so since I was a kid. I also know how the GOP and democrat platforms differed. I know what I believe about gov't, values, liberty, etc. I do fear the influences that shaped Barack Obama (Alinsky, Davis, Wright, Dorhn and Ayers of the Weather Underground, et al) --and thus, I don't trust him to be as harmless as you think he is. My hope and impression would be that he is enjoying his money, his golf, and is content to finish his term and go into the sunset with his annual salary for life of $400,000 plus speaking and book fees. I hope he doesn't have the ambition to really redistribute wealth via a national uprising with anarchy and chaos caused by his class warfare.
You wouldn't be Al, would you--seems the Bronze Age book could be from you.
