A letter to the President


Dear Mr President,


I will try to make this letter short and sweet, and get right to the point. Upon careful consideration of the current economic crisis, I would like to put in my bid for a bail out.


I have taken note that in the past 3 months we, as a nation, have been very generous to assist in the financial crises of banks, lending companies, mortagage investment corporations and now the auto industry in their time of need. It is my impression, as is evidenced by our tremendous willingness to reward these companies for their mismanagement of funds, their laissez faire attitude towards remaining solvent, and their obvious inability to conduct their businesses with credible managagerial practices, that they are being rewarded.


In light of this precedence, I would like to ask, on behalf of all taxpaying Americans, for our share of the pie. In case it has escaped your attention, we as a public, are entering a financial crisis also. Unemployment is skyrocketing, homes are being foreclosed upon and more hungry Americans are standing in food kitchen lines today than ever before in the last 70 years.


When one of us suffers, we all suffer. We are, therefore, submitting our request for 700 billion dollars to be refunded and divided evenly to all Americans who had income taxes witheld from their paychecks in the year 2007. I am sure, Mr President, that this request will be given the same consideration as that of those corporations mentioned above.


Sincerely yours,

John Q. Public


**** think it will work? mwahahahahahahahahaha***

Well the new President elect promised change didn't he? so I am sure he will take care of it for us.

Ok, that was sarcastic, sorry. but I fear that even in all his good intentions, this is going to be a hard time to be a leader of this nation.

we could only hope. At least if he gives me a bail out I would ATTEMPT to pay it back. Unlike some of these huge corporations.

Scary!
