Don't know if you got the "memo"

Memo:

From: Retired U.S Navy Personnel
To: The American Public

Subj: Position Statement of the U.S. Economy

1. We in retirement take exception to everyone saying that Bernanke, Obama, Reid and Pelosi are spending like drunken sailors. When we were drunken sailors, we quit when we ran out of money.

And as for the phrase -relief for working families.. Where is it?
Instead of only driving 4 hours a day to one job, and then back another 30 minutes to a night job, my husband has weekly meetings with the TCA as they do community service all over East Texas - like he did for the evacuees. I hope the relief comes before he has a heart attack or stroke getting 4 hours of sleep a night. Its that elephant in a room no one wants to talk about.

Deborah, that Bingo game has a lot of words I've heard this last year...
About the census - has anyone been here?

Brother sent it to me. I had no clue, just knew years ago about the google earth.
I made a 95 on my Census test but they did not call me to work... Must be a lot of people making 100's before me, but judging by the clerks administering the test, not them.

Thanks, Pamela. I do pray and hope for another man of character, another Reagan, to take the lead in the fight against progressivism. The so-called leaders of our party at this time are mostly traitors. They are selling us and our families out for some awfully short-sighted gain.

I watched History channel this morning about Andrew Jackson. Some good, some bad. The bad was what he did to the Indians on the Trail of Tears. (but you have to put yourself in their shoes back then - savage Indians massacred members of his mothers family)
The good was he got rid of the Federal Bank - he hated it - he said the goverment needs to balance itself just like households do.
The corrupt U.S. Bank had a virtual stranglehold on the young Republic.Congressmen and Senators financially beholden to him, he wielded great political power. Biddle deliberately created a banking panic & a depression for the purpose of frightening the voters and blaming it on President Jackson. Biddle was later arrested and charged with fraud, but his powerful protectors shielded him from justice . . . in this life.
Jackson said the Federal Reserve Bank wasn't Federal and didn't have any reserves!! Its almost cyclical.

The International Olympic Federation Committee stripped the gold metal from Lindsey Vonn this evening and awarded it to USA President Barack H. Obama on the basis that he is going downhill much faster than Vonn.

I have been sitting in front of my computer enjoying the posts here. You gals are thinkers, and that is refreshing. I'm pretty new to N4M trying to find my way around on the site. I am extremely conservative--convince me there is hope for the Republican party! They have betrayed us so many times...

Speaking of the ...fight -

Watching the coverage on Health Care Summit. It seems like a hopeless situation.

This is long - but you will enjoy...



John G. Is 63 years old and owns a small business. He's a life-long Republican and sees his dream of retiring next year has all but evaporated. With the stock market crashing and new taxes coming his way, John assumes now that he will work to his dying day.


John has a granddaughter. Ashley is a recent college grad.. She drives a flashy hybrid car, wears all the latest fashions, and loves to go out to nightclubs and restaurants. Ashley campaigned hard for Barack Obama. After the election she made sure her grandfather (and all other Republican family members) received a big I told-you-so earful on how the world is going to be a much better place now that her party is taking over.


Having lost both roommates, Ashley recently ran short of cash and cannot pay the rent (again) on her 3 bedroom townhouse. As she has done many times in the past, she e-mailed her grandfather asking for some financial help.


Here is his reply:

Sweetheart, I received your request for assistance.


Ashley, you know I love you dearly and I 'm 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 Empowerment Plan." Let me explain.

Your grandmother and I are life-long, wage-earning tax payers. We have lived a comfortable life, as you know, but we have never had the fancier things like European vacations, luxury cars, etc.. We have worked hard and were looking forward to retiring soon. But the plan has changed.


Your president is raising our personal and business taxes significantly. 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 for us, and we must cut back on many business and personal expenses.


You know the wonderful receptionist who worked in my office for more than 23 years? The one who always gave you candy when you came over to visit? I had to let her go last week. I can't afford to pay her salary and all of the government mandated taxes that go with having employees. Your grandmother will now work 4 days a week to answer phones, take orders and handle the books. We will be closed on Fridays and will lose even more income to the Wal-Mart.


I'm also very sorry to report that your cousin Frank will no longer be working summers in the warehouse. I called him at school this morning. He already knows about it and he's upset because he will have to give up skydiving and his yearly trip to Greenland to survey the polar bears.


That's just the business side of things. 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. But by your vote, you have chosen to help others -- not at your expense -- but at our expense.


If you need money now sweetheart, I recommend you call 202-456-1111. That is the direct phone number for the White House.. You can also contact the White House here: http://www.whitehouse.gov/CONTACT/ .


You yourself told me how foolish it is 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 on everything you've told me, along with all the promises we heard during the campaign, I'm sure Mr. Obama will be happy to transfer some stimulus money into your bank account. Have him call me for the account number which I memorized years ago.


Perhaps you can now understand what I've been saying all my life: Those who vote for a president should consider the impact on the nation as a whole, and not be just concerned with what they can get for themselves. What Obama supporters don't seem to realize is all of the money he is redistributing to illegal aliens and non-taxpaying Americans (the so-called "less fortunate") comes from tax-paying families.


Remember how you told me, "Only the richest of the rich will be affected"? Well guess what, honey? Because we own a 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.


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.

I'm sorry, Ashley, but the well has run dry. The free lunches are over. I have no money to give you now.


So, congratulations on your choice for "change." For future reference, I encourage you to try and add up the total value of the gifts and cash you have received from us, just since you went off to college, and compare it to what you expect to get from Mr. Obama over the next 4 (or 8) years. I have not kept track of it, Ashley. It has all truly been the gift of our hearts.


Remember, we love you dearly...but from now on, you'll need to call the number mentioned above. Your "Savior" has the money we would have given to you. Just try to get it from him.

Good luck Sweetheart.


Love, Grandpa
