Dear President Obama,
This letter is to let you know that I will no longer be paying taxes to the US government. In addition, I am also requesting that I receive "bailout" funds of $1 billion USD annually. You see, unlike all of the already-wealthy bankers who are currently reupholstering their yachts with my tax dollars, I actually work for a living. I pay taxes, I pay rent, I pay my bills, I keep my credit cards under control, my car is 7 years old, I don't even have cable. My reward is having the privilege of being able to pay for executives to get bonuses that are worth more money than will pass through my bank accounts for my entire life.
Senator Chris Dodd seemed to have no problem inserting special language into bailout legislation making sure that AIG executives were guaranteed to get their filthy lucre. I don't see any reason why Congress can't legislate what AIG can and can't do, seeing as how the tax-paying citizens of this country own the company. Is the idea that only graduates of Harvard are entitled to limitless free tax dollars to sustain their multi-million dollar mansions?
Taxpayers like me are beyond furious. We know that it's going to take years to clean up this Exxon Valdez spill that is our economy, and that the economic ecosphere will be devesated for longer than we all care to imagine. But I have just lost all tolerance for the endless pilfering, and the spinelessness of this government to shut it down and take control of the situation. Right now is not a time for coddling and worrying about the polls. You've got 4 years to do something and there's no time like the present. Take the kid gloves off, take away all the money from these bastards, and keep them off the field.
