Broken Promises

The President is now suggesting that another election promise be broken. The principal pledge was that "95% of Americans would not see their taxes go up even a dime". Now he and members of Congress are considering raising middle class taxes to pay for health care and to reduce the deficit. Mathematical reality has reared its ugly head. Politicians knowingly promised the impossible. This country does not need more TAXES. It needs less SPENDING.

During the last six months Congress has perpetuated a marathon of outrageous spending. You have spent money we don't have on things we don't need or even want. We have had a stimulus bill that doesn't stimulate and a spending bill that was full of pork. You have bailed out and are controlling financial institutions and auto corporations. Now you want to take over our health care and need more money. Stop trying to replace a mostly good health care system with a government run system.

Why do politicians, who ran as moderates vote as liberals? This is fundamentally dishonest. Listen to the people and truly represent them. There is life outside the beltway and it is surprising intelligent.

Signed,
The Electorate
