Dear Senator,
What in the world is wrong with you? We aren’t the banks so we don’t deserve your anger regarding a bill gone wrong. We aren’t the auto execs who pay themselves too much and lost sight of their responsibility to America. We aren’t over paid lazy workers, uneducated and unskilled. We are factory workers who go to work every day to less than pleasant environments and tough labor jobs. We make $40k/year, pay taxes, contribute to society and the economy, and help our neighbors when they need it. We don’t have jets or boats or take elaborate vacations. Our worlds are much smaller. Our status symbols involve pretty Levitra houses of about 1600 SF, clean cars that cost about $30k, and weekend trips up north.
How do these numbers compare to those in your life, Senator, and that of those around you? Not even close, I suspect.
Is your job to represent and protect Americans? Or be a bully and punish those you don’t think behaved?
Much of Michigan will shut down if our automakers do not receive some assistance. Sir, don’t you understand that current employees cannot take a 50% pay cut? I am sure you’d advise us to downsize. Fine. But how do we downsize when we cannot sell our homes because we owe more than it is worth thanks to the current real estate market, ruined largely by the banks that you just happily bailed out?!
(don’t you dare try to infuse consumer download drama movies irresponsibility here. Not everyone bought over their heads and splurged on pools and “toys”)
With houses under value and people not having jobs to support paying the difference at closing, we’re all going to go into foreclosure! Bad for us, sure, but since you don’t seem to care about “us” I’ll also point out, bad for the economy, for the state, for the country! Why do I have to tell you this?
We are sorry that you think we make too much money. But you big boys in your suits with YOUR cigars and multiple homes, expensive cars, fancy vacations, excess, greed and agendas need to quit your pissing match and pay attention to our corner of the country that you are destroying.
That’s the end of the letter. You can email your own letter here. Or make a phone call to 202-224-5744.
