Dear Wall Street and Banking Industry,
I deeply regret the situation you have put this Country in and I feel it is my duty as an American to rectify it myself. There is no question that your greed and the money you have made from the American people is past the level of astonishing. For years and years you have made millions while the people have struggled to survive. As it turns out those millions were made by conning the American people out of our hard earned money. As if this manipulation wasn’t enough, you then single handily crashed the economy, putting more financial strain on all of us in the process. Then, in a move I found absolutely astounding (and a bit insulting to my intelligence) - you had the gall to TAKE $700 billion dollars from me to help you out of this mess you created. I don’t remember actually offering my assistance, but that’s really for another letter.
So after all of this, what exactly did you do with my money? I actually haven’t been told and perhaps you can look into this, but from what I’ve seen it looks like you have sent your executives to expensive spa weekends, given your CEOs multimillion dollar pay checks, fired a bunch of us, and still managed to tank the economy ANOTHER several thousand points. I write you to let you know I find this unacceptable.
I have already given you $700 billion+ to rectify the situation along with the previous billions from prior bills that you never even told me about on top of the OTHER billions you have directly made from me in the process of conning me- and you haven’t helped anything. In fact, you’ve only made things much worse!
Did you not say the cause of this entire crisis was the fact that people could not afford to pay their mortgages (because of the Bank’s practices)? And did you not also say that this 700 billion will rectify the situation by allowing folks to stay in those homes? Well I’ve decided my solution to this is I will stay in my home AND discontinue sending money to YOU in return!! This way Americans get to stay in their homes, you can spend the money I gave you however you would like (you’ve proven you will anyway) and the problem is finally solved.
Now, something like this would be very difficult to do because I’m sure you would not be happy about it. Some might say it would be impossible for a single person to take this stand (and they might be right). But you need not worry I assure you because the rest of the American People are going to take this stand with me. A sheriff in Illinois has already made this brave stand and refused to foreclose and evict tenants from any more homes and my bet is there are thousands more across this great country like him. The gravest mistake you possibly could have made is not realizing the people you have been conning all these years are those SAME people that have in some ways (although we didn’t know it at the time) assisted you in your crimes. We will be accomplices no longer.
Finally I have done some checking and it turns out that the actual paper money you put up as the other side of my home purchase transaction is actually COUNTERFEIT! It was printed by some private company that is not even part of the government! I would suggest you look into this also but it appears you have already have and not only admitted this was the case but then sided with the American people all the way back in 1969 in a Minnesota court case. That’s a long time to know that what you were doing wasn’t even legal! None of that really matters anymore though because the American People have made the decision to not allow it any longer.
In closing, the beauty of this whole thing is that you were actually right – your $700billion plan has worked after all!! It (and YOU) has failed so miserably it inspired me to get up and do something about it. It was truly a pleasure that I could be of some assistance to you and help you finally rectify this problem that you created.
I deeply regret any inconvenience that this will ultimately cause you,
Sincerely,
The American People
