Do you think young Americans need to hear this ?

Q: A Letter From a GrandpaGuess you heard that 68% of the youth vote went to Obama.. My granddaughter called this morning to tell me she was one of them. I replied with this e-mail:Dear Granddaughter,The election of Obama comes down to this. Your grandmother and I, your mother, and other productive, wage-earning tax payers will have their taxes increased and that means less income left over. Less incomemeans we will have to cut back on basic purchases, gifts and handouts.That includes firing the lady who cleans our house twice a month. She just lost her job. We can't afford her anymore.What is the economic effect of Obama's election on you personally? Over the years, your grandmother and I have given you thousands of dollars in food, housing, cash, clothing, gifts, etc. By your vote, youhave chosen another family over ours for help. So in the future, if you need assistance with your rent, money for gas, tires for your car, someone to bring you lunch, etc. ... call 202-456-1111 . That's the telephone number for the Office of the President of the United States. I'm sure Mr. Obama will be happy to send a check from his personal or business accounts, as we have, or leave cash in an envelope taped to his front door for you, as we have.It's like this.. Those who vote for the President of the United States should consider what the impact of an election will be on the nation as a whole and not just be concerned with what they can get for themselves(welfare, stimulus checks, etc.). What Obama voters don't seem to realize is that the government's money comes from taxes collected from tax paying families. Raising taxes on productive people means they will have less money to spend on their families.Congratulations on your choice. For future reference, you might attempt to add up all you've received from us, your mom, Mike's parents and others and compare it to what you expect to get over the next four yearsfrom Mr. Obama.To congratulate Mr. Obama and to make sure you're on the list for handouts, write to: The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. NW Washington, DC 20500Love you Honey, but call the number listed above when you need help.Granddad
