Well,
son, this is the last letter that I will pen to you, seeing as how
you are about to retire from public life and return to your corporate
raider day job on November 6th. Not that you really
entered my world to begin with, since I am a card carrying member of
the 47% that you've dismissed out of hand.
I've
gotta be real honest with you, in the 41 years that I've been voting
in elections, I've never, ever seen anything like this campaign that
you've mounted. Never. Even before I could vote I watched conventions
and election returns on the television for almost as long as I've
been alive. The first convention that sticks in my head is the one
where Eisenhower was nominated. I was five.
Not
one of the campaigns, Republican, Democrat, Independent, hell, even
Communist Party, nothing has come close to the amount of total
disregard for the facts, arrogance, cluelessness and outright
viciousness toward a sitting president or the citizens of this
country, has ever occurred in my memory.
I
was born during Jim Crow, so I know what it is like being hated and
dismissed as a human being, solely because I exist. However times had
changed, I thought. You masters of the universe had gotten better at
hiding your hatred, until you made your 47% speech to your rich
supporters. I guess the feelings have always been there, just hidden.
Silly me.
Your
assumption that we wouldn't understand your plans for the country is
totally insulting, not because it is a difficult plan, but because
you think I'm too stupid to understand the words coming out of your
mouth.
Well,
let me give you a for instance....you keep accusing the President of
“redistributing the wealth.” You stirred up your base to make
them believe that Obama is taking “their money” and “their
country” away from them and giving them to the reprobates on
welfare, which is your code for Black people.
What
you're talking about is a progressive tax, aren't cha?
Progressive
tax is by its very nature, a redistribution of money from one section
to another. The difference is that you prefer to “redistribute the
wealth” to your rich friends rather than help out those who really
and truly need it. So the truth of the matter is, you with your 20% across the board tax cut, are the one who
will take their money away from them, right?
Sir,
you may be a Mormon, but you're certainly no Christian. I would even
venture to say that you are not religious in any sense of the word,
unless you count lucre as your god.
It
doesn't help matters that your sincerity is as plastic as the credit
cards in your pocket. You have proven to be bankrupt as an
empathetic, feeling human being. I used to joke by calling you Max
Headroom. Maybe you remember that virtual reality clown who lived in
a TV set. Max was just a disembodied head floating around in a box.
For
what it's worth, your head is on a body like normal...it just doesn't
function any better than good ole Max.
So
to make it official, I'm not voting for you Mitt/Max.
Our
one night stand is over. You weren't even a satisfying roll in the
hay. Not enough staying power to get me off. So enjoy your life. I
know you will.
And,
by the way....If I were you, I'd cast my vote for President Obama,
come election day, because if one thing is certain, rich people like
you made out like bandits these past four years. He has really,
really been a good president for wealthy people such as yourself.
Guess
you could say, no matter what happens, you're still in the win-win
situation in this life. Enjoy Mittens!
Vote
responsibly in November.
