Open letter to the Senate

It is obvious from watching the proceedings that some Senators are just getting "face time" to appease their radical left wing base. It is embarrassing as an American to witness such petty, self serving, opportunistic behavior from what should be the noble house.


Social Security is sound for today's seniors and for those nearing retirement, but it needs to be fixed for younger workers - our children and grandchildren. Give the underclass a chance to invest in America. Now they spend every dime from pay day to pay day and have no money left over to invest in IRAs, 401Ks and such. Let them take a tiny piece of their SS withholding and put it to work in investments such as the rich folks are able to do.


We are at war in a fight for our very existence. Stop your colleges from giving aid and comfort to the enemy just to gain political favor. It is un-American and downright dangerous. Help your president, he needs and deserves all he can get. Victory in this cause is not a Party thing – it is an American thing.


And lastly stop this dangerous drift toward a Socialist and Totalitarian State essentially embodied in the creed of "from each according to his ability and to each according to his need". The country was founded on private property, a proud list of freedoms from government and the idea that opportunity was equal to all to achieve as best as their abilities would allow. There is nothing in the founding that states that all should end up with equal wealth, education, and health care. 


Stop buying the votes of the poor by stealing from the producers.
