Dear Obama,

You are the lack of change our nation never deserved to endure.

My wife and I work for a living. Together we make less than 50K/year. My step-son was born with a sub-mucosal cleft that handicapped his speech. Thus far he has had two surgeries just so he could physically reproduce the sounds needed for him to be able to speak just a little intelligibly. I'm am not his legal guardian. Austin has a father that is responsible for 50% of his mecical expenses, although to date I think he might have given my wife $100 or so towards the thousands he owes for medical expenses. He just bought a new tattoo last week.

The point I'd like to make for you, sir, Mr. President - is that your system is totally ludacris.

Why you ask?

I'm going to say this as clearly as possible:

WHEN YOU HELP PEOPLE WHO DON'T HELP THEMSELVES, YOU GIVE THEM NO REASON TO HELP THEMSELVES.

Huh?

More clarity?

When you give checks to people who pay $87/mo for "government" housing - and then allow those people to draw $8000 income tax refunds off how many illegitimate kids they can reproduce in any given year, you not on further disable them, you DISCOURAGE them from getting out and WORKING for a living.

But it's not just that.

My wife and I who get up off our asses and work - get completely shafted by the government. The more money I make, the less I get back from taxes. Our JOINT return this year amounted to HALF what my wife got back BY HERSELF last year. This was our first joint tax return as a married couple. Way to say - "welcome to responsibility" there.

So GOOD JOB restructuring the tax returns. Once again - you've managed to SCREW the middle class, including Joe the damn plumber.

And my most recent issue. I would say "we" were denied, but "we" were not. Austin was denied social security to pay for his last surgery. This surgery will cost several thousand dollars. SUPPOSEDLY our "household" income is TOO HIGH! We now have no idea how we will afford the surgery, or continue to afford his monthly medication - which cost approx. $130/mo.

Mr. President, YOU'RE income is TOO HIGH! We work hard and barely get by. My gas could get turned off any day now - something you haven't even thought about since you became an elitist prick politician.

WAKE UP!

THE MIDDLE CLASS IS THE PILLAR UPON WHICH THIS NATION STANDS. WHAT WILL ALL YOU ELITIST ASSHOLES DO WHEN WE DECIDE TO SIT ON OUR ASS IN GOVERNMENT HOUSING AND TAKE OUR CHECKS?

So what about the homeless?

GIVE THEM JOBS! Quit giving them money, and give them something to freaking do! No jobs? GET RID OF THE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS!

PRESTO! We have JOBS!

Let Mexico handle their own shit.

Problem solved.

Then give us some help so my step-son can have the SAME CHANCE AT LIFE that every other kid getting a free pass through your crap programs for the "needy" get.

I hope you have a horrible day, SIR.
