I had sent a letter to Jay Rockefeller of WVA, and it is one of the preformed letters that was mass-mailed. However, I am writing him back to see if he will respond to it as well, and what kind of letter I will receive. But, I need some help filling it out because I really want some beef to it.
The bullet points are responses to his bullet points on his letter. Any help to bring down this titan of WVA is greatly appreciated. This is what I have so far, and it's a little snippy, but I am angry:
Dear Senator Rockefeller,
I understand that politicians are in the business of telling constituents what they want to hear instead of what we need to hear, and that’s why I try not to hold too much disdain towards politicians when they tell us that they can solve our problems for us. Everyone that owns a television set has seen Barack Obama and John McCain stand upon their stages and lead mob rallies against the greed on Wall Street tied with the greed on Capitol Hill. However, it is political suicide to stand on the stage and say the real answer: That it is both of those tied to yet another third party culpable: The greed on Main Street.
I’ve watched as a few people I have known take on insane mortgages with interest rates as high as the self-images of the two simple politicians agreeing their way to the presidency. It wasn’t predatory lending that coerced these people into these mortgages; it was pure greed and gambling. The wheel landed on black and it’s time to pay the house. Or it’s time to steal a small chunk from everyone else in the casino and tell them that they are taking stake in the loss. However, the good news is that there were a few people that knew where the ball was going to land.
Murray Rothbard had been predicting this for a couple years. Your own congressperson from Texas, Ron Paul, in the House of Representatives told everyone five years ago that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac would collapse because of government intervention and policy.
Now that I own a part of these companies, can you please lobby on my behalf to get my share of the Christmas Bonuses that Goldman Sachs just gave their employees? A hundred dollars should do me just fine. I can spend it on a fifth of Puerto Rican rum, now that that’s going to be safe from some taxes.
• Can I apply for the job as Inspector General? I hear that government employees have the best job security of anyone. Even if the department was created 100 years ago, the job is still around
• The market place limits the executive pay of failed CEOs the best of any plan available: nothing. It is immoral and offensive to give even plastic parachutes let alone silver parachutes to CEOs who presided over this collapse.
• These homeowners are not completely innocent, and it is nothing but pandering to say that they are poor dames raped by the mob boss of Wall Street. People make voluntary choices with their finances. I am 20 years old, and I have good credit, no credit card, and money in my savings. In a few years if home prices continued to decline, I could purchase one. But after all this new money hits the market, and home prices keep up, and my dollars buy less than they do now, I will call and ask for my bailout. Thanks for hurting us: the ones responsible with their money. But at least I can ask the man who put it on Black for my money that he invested to the Casino.
• The FDIC has been raised before. How many times are we going to continue this spiral instead of addressing the real issue of our monetary policy?
• Thank the rest of Congress for giving me some tax relief. No, wait. Tell them that I don’t thank the pick-pocket for giving me my own money back.
• If clean-coal is a good investment, it will be decided in the market. Green products are hitting the shelves faster than any other trend now without any help from taxpayer dollars.
