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 graduate.  She drives a flashy hybrid car,

wears all the latest fashions, and loves to go out

to nightclubs and restaurants.  Ashley campaigned

hard for Barak 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.  Like she has done many

times in the past, she e-mailed her grandfather asking

for some financial help. Here is his reply:

July 11, 2009

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 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 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.

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) 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 and

get it from him.

Good luck, sweetheart.

Love,
Grandpa

John,

Whether this was an actual letter or not, I found that it was very interesting.

Especially the part of taking our money to give to the non-citizens.  It has always amazed me how our government wants to take our money and spread it around.  The only thing is, they keep most of it for their earmarks and very little trickles down to the people that actually need it.

For years I have promoted the Fair Tax where every person would pay taxes on what they purchase, and not on what they earned.

This way the illigals would have to pay their way even if they don't like it.  States that have sales taxes don't have much of a problem because every time they make a purchase, they have to pay the tax.

The main road block for this is the Lawyers, CPA's and IRS agents because it would put so many of them out of work!  So it is always blocked by their lobyists.

Hello James,

I agree with you and it amazes me that these folks remain in office.  We have even allowed them to vote themselves pensions of 90% of their pay after serving only one term... FOR LIFE!!!  Talk about legacy costs.  So even if they lose re-election we are paying them.  That sweet deal includes Health Coverage, a allowance for office and staff.  No wonder we are going broke!

I support your Fair Tax but only if it includes abolishing the current tax system.  If this is a VAT then no I won't support it it as the model does not work.  The model we had before the democrats started tweaking things after Reagan fixed it would be just fine.  Plus closing the loophole that allows them to raid a trust fund like Social Security.  Had the government (Democrats) curtailed their spending and stopped raiding the Social Security Trust Fund to balance their budgets erroneously, Social Security would be bursting at the seams with money.  What happened to It?

A tyrannical group known as a Oligarchy is pushing hard to take control.  It consists of people from both parties.  We need to clean house and take our country back.  No Incumbents 2010!!!

U.K.'s version of Obamacare, National

Health Service

U.K. on ObamaCare: Been there,

done that


 By Matt Barber  Thursday, August 20, 2009

Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address comes to mind. In
the art of persuasion, it’s often most effective to
paint in brief, colorful strokes.
A savvy reader with the handle “Jerseyvet” made
an incisive observation after perusing my latest
column concerning Obamacare:
“Start out with the premise that the demand for
health care is infinite, but the supply is finite,”
he wrote. “So health care has to be rationed. I
trust the market, unfettered by governmental
restrictions, more than the government. The
Canadian and British systems of health care
reinforce my belief.”
Jerseyvet—clearly one of those acerbate,
 “un-American” town hall “astroturfers”—has
slung an arrow precisely through the heart of
the matter.
Even Obama famously gaffed upon this weighty
truth with his ill-advised postal services analogy
on the free market vs. government care: “UPS
and FedEx are doing just fine,” he noted, “It’s
the post office that’s always having problems.”
(Isn’t that precious? Seriously—did Joe Biden write
that line?)
The president could have saved us all the trouble
and just admitted: “Blue Cross and Blue Shield are
doing just fine (with room for true free-market reform).
It’s government health care that’s always having
problems.”
Fittingly, it was British statesman Edmund Burke
who observed, “Those who don’t know history are
destined to repeat it.”
Regrettably, unless “we the people” defeat liberals’
radical experiment in British-style health care, we’re
destined to repeat the very dark history under which
they (the Brits) presently live and needlessly die.
President Obama is on record: “I happen to be a
proponent of a single-payer universal health care
plan,” he assured the AFL-CIO in 2003.
But Daniel Hannan—a popular British member of the
European Parliament—recently warned us of what
to expect should Obama’s vision come to fruition:
“If you want to see what a government-run health
care system looks like, you need not look any
further than the countries like Canada or Great
Britain. They already have in place so-called
universal health care, and the results, well, they’re
not pretty.”
And, as you’re about to see, with the words “not
pretty” Mr. Hannan has secured his spot in the
“morose understatement hall of fame.”
The following headlines from Britain’s three leading
newspapers, the Times, the Daily Mail and the
Telegraph, bear out Mr. Hannan’s ominous warning.
Most of these stories are from 2009 and address
the U.K.‘s version of Obamacare (Britain’s “National
Health Service,” or “NHS”.)
For a sobering exercise in reality, simply replace
“NHS” with “Obamacare” everywhere it appears:

• ”Cancer doctors do not tell patients about drugs which could prolong lives”
• ”Patients forced to live in agony after NHS refuses to pay for painkilling injections”
• ”A million failed asylum seekers (illegal immigrants) will get free NHS care in human rights U-turn”
• ”Ruling ‘denies treatment to 100,000 Alzheimer’s patients’”
• ”Transsexuals win right to sex swap on NHS”
• ”Patients risk going blind as NHS refuses treatment”
• ”NHS targets ‘may have lead to 1,200 deaths’ in Mid-Staffordshire”
• ”Patients with suspected cancer forced to wait so NHS targets can be hit”
• ”Hospital chairman quits over dangerous targets”
• ”Patients forced to wait hours in ambulances parked outside A&E departments”
• ”NICE could deny drugs to stomach patients”
• ”NHS staff face the sack if they discuss religion with patients”
• ”11 serious errors a day in NHS surgery”
• ”War hero refused treatment by NHS”
• ”Cancer patient Linda O’Boyle dies after NHS ends free care over ‘top up’”
• ”Drug addicts get priority access to swine flu vaccine”
• ”Row as terminally ill woman given bed in hospital bathroom”
• ”NHS staff ‘no longer asked if they would be treated in own hospital’”
• ”Beat the NHS queue with a medical trip to Malaysia”

These headlines are the tip of the iceberg. There are
hundreds more just like them with very real people

and very real lives behind each.
Make no mistake: If we don’t sink this Obamacare

Titanic before it sets sail, we become the headline.
We needn’t speculate. History is our crystal ball.
