I am going to AGAIN write my elected officials, all Republican. Before I send it I wanted some thoughts so I will paste it below.
You won! Or, at least as Mr. Boehner said you got 98% of what you wanted. You listened to the right-wing fanatics of your party and ignored the American people. Poll after poll stated the American people wanted the corporate welfare to end, such as that given to oil companies making billions in profits. Those polls also stated that the American people wanted to end the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy. After President Obama asked the American people to contact Senators and Representatives phone lines were jammed and servers crashed. You totally ignored the American people in favor for the most wealthy, but that is no surprise, your average voter can’t afford to make the donations the corporations and wealthy 2% can make. You showed who you care about and it wasn’t people like me. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE LOST!!! Since you got your 98% for the 2% you care about, the stock market has dropped and S&P has dropped our countries credit rating. I know you say the corporations and wealthy create the jobs, if that was the only factor in job creation the Bush tax cuts would have generated tens of millions of jobs instead of the 3 million as reported by The Wall Street Journal, far less than that of Clinton’s 23.1 million. Isn’t it time to do the right thing and start thinking about those who can only give you one vote instead of those who can give you thousands of dollars and fix the problems you and your party has caused quit blaming the people who inherited your problems. Please don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind shared sacrifice but not if you continue to protect the wealthy and multi-billion dollar profit corporations while hurting the middle and lower class. Unfortunately, I don’t see much hope. If you and your fellow Republicans do as I expect you will first blame Obama and the Democrats for not giving in the last 2% claiming that this caused the drop in the stock market and the credit rating decrease. Then you will raise the retirement age, cut medicare, medicaid and other things which help the elderly and poor because we are in crises. And, to stimulate job creation you will then give a tax credits to the billion dollar profit corporations tax cuts to those who make a $1M or more.
Should I take something out? Should I add something?
Edited for spelling.
