Dear President Bush. This is a first for me, to email an elected official of any caliber. I voted for you twice, because of your strong moral values. I'm begging you to use them now. My husband and I live in Tennessee. My husband has Alzhiemer's and Parkinson's disease, and Diabetes. I also have multiple medical problems. I'm also my husband's caretaker. We have been living on his Social Security check of $769.00, along with the help of Tenn Care and food stamps. At the end of this month we will lose our Tenn Care. We cannot afford to go to the dr., much less pay for our medications. I feel that my own government has let us down, while at the same time trying to support other countries, free other countries, etc. Why can't our State elected officials take a pay cut, or lose some of the perks paid for by tax payers, and keep poor people alive a while longer? What has gong wrong with our priorities? We say "Give us your poor your hungry" etc. What about our own poor and hungry? This is the first time in my 61 years of life I've been so angry and hurt by my own government. Please help us and the many others that are being forced to an early death because we are no longer productive.
Thank you for your time.

P.S.

We wasted approximately ~$500,000 over the last 50 years, because we wanted a new car every year.

Also we bought multiple houses.

And took expensive vacations in Europe.




Yes, we would have been wiser to save that money, to provide for our retirement, but we didn't. We wasted the money frivilously for 50 years.

We don't want to take responsibility for our mistakes.

Instead we want you to steal it from other Americans' wallets & give it to us.

Ummm.... ya, all poor people are victims of their own excessive, carefree spending ways.
 
99% of American are rich enough to take care of themselves, and provide for their own retirement, via life-long savings, but instead they waste their money.


I suspect the original letter writer is not poor... but once had a good-paying $15 an hour job... and instead of saving for retirement, they wasted the cash on frivilous trash.

No I can't. I would have to drive about 14 hours to get to the nearest state (virgina, west virginia and ohio all look about equal distance) that voted for bush. I was going to university in toronto at the time anyway, but even if I had been home there's no way you can do that and still attend college. The other two are kind of pointless if I know absolutely nothing about an area. And the last thing someone from alabama or texas wants to hear is a guy with a boston accent telling them to vote for kerry.

Lol, just meant that they're rich. When someone thinks everyone has that much money to waste, I can't help but assume they've been surrounded by plenty of wealth their whole life.
 
We're not all rich. I'm certainly not. And there are towns around here that are pretty run down. Insult beverly hills if you want, but leave my home alone.

You missed my point, I was just trying to name two wealthy areas. I wasn't insulting them, it's just seems odd that someone who thinks like electrictoy would be from a place that wasn't super rich. I know people have heard of long island, and I have a friend who went to long island university, and he was telling me how rich it was. I don't get what the big deal is. If you guys were from the boston area I would have said andover (home to philips academy, where the kennedy's, both bushes, and other rich and famous people, went), and I like andover.

You could have justed *asked*.

I'm from Lancaster County PA. The area ranges from poor farmers to upper middle class, but the majority earns only $5-$10 an hour, including my dad. It's a Republican county. Voted Bush. Not rich.

BTW, just to define "rich" - anyone who earns more than $500,000 a year. None of those people live in my home county. ($20-500,000 = middle class. Below $20,000 = poor.)




I stand by my previous comment, that 99% Americans could take care of themselves, if they saved their money for retirement, instead of constantly buying "stuff".

$500,000 a year is NOT middle class.

Less than $19,000 is lower class.
$20,000 to $200,000 is middles class.
$200,000 to $750,000 is upper class.
$750,000 and up is filthy stinking rich.

Y'know, when people cite numbers ("99%"), and then continue to stand by them without citing ANY statistics or supporting documentation, they stand to look foolish.

"57% of Baptists have the IQ of a pudding cup."

"So, um...where did those numbers come from?"

"I stand by what I said: 57% of Baptists have the IQ of a pudding cup."

You're clearly a Bush supporter if you're willing to stand by what you say without having any information to back it up. I'm also willing to bet that, if someone were to cite polls/surveys/census data that contradicted exactly what you are saying, you'd be enough of a Bush supporter to *continue* to hold your baseless belief.

God Bless 'Merica.
 
Troy, Quack, you're both wrong.

http://www.census.gov/hhes/income/histinc/ie1.html

This 2001 Census report shows the following at the very top of the table: no searching necessary! It's like Easy Cheese, but even easier!

Gub'ment] Table IE-1. Selected Measures of Household Income Dispersion: 1967 to 2001 (Households as of March of the following year. Income in current and 2001 CPI-U-RS adjusted dollars 28/) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Measures of Income Dispersion 2001 2000 30/ 2000 29/ 1999 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Household Income at Selected Percentiles In Current Dollars: 20th percentile upper limit 17 said:
The poorest of the top 5% of income earners earned $150,499 in 2001.[/b] This means that the 95% of Americans who are below this level in income made less than that per year. I may be wrong, but I get the idea that the real "middle" lies somewhere in that 95%. It's a logical necessity according to the very definition of "mean."

Ok, then alanzo, maybe I was a bit harsh. My town has an average yearly salary of approx 93k. I don't consider that rich, mostly because taxes for this area (meaning all of long island) are so outrageously expensive, and still rising. Luckily, my home has been in the family for the better part of a century, so we don't have any mortgage to worry about. If we did though, we might not be living here...

I'm sorry. It just struck a nerve, since right now I've got a bunch of money issues on my mind, with both me and my brother heading to college. Having it said that I was living a life of luxury just frustrated me. Once again, sorry about that.

I can agree to that. My point still remains that I do NOT come from a wealthy town or family, as was accused.



And when I look around and I see Americans driving down the road with shiny new $30,000 cars/suvs, I call that "waste". Rather than buy a new car, they should have kept their still-near-new car, and put the $30,000 into a retirement account.

Then when they reach age 80, they won't have to beg the government for help.

They will have ~$500,000 in the bank to care for themselves.

Not all low-income people drive new cars though. Try driving through south & west philly, or camden. Or even parts of baltimore. Even areas in central and northern PA, people drive 10+ year old American cars. It's hard to save for retirement when you're constantly living on the edge.

The sheer foolishness in ignoring the lifestyle gap between those making $20,000 and $200,000 is perhaps what you're speaking to, and the assumption that people making $20,000-$40,000 per year are the ones buying brand new cars period, much less SUV's?

True. Did I say we shouldn't help the poor? Where did I say that?



My main beef is when we see a husband/wife who earned a combined $60,000 a year, wasted it constantly buying new "stuff", and then at age 70 they demand the gov't steal from their neighbors, and give it to them.

That couple earned ~3 million dollars during their lifetime. They don't deserve to get any assistance. They should have saved their money instead of wasting it.
