I normally don’t post politically oriented items on the Stoked News site, but a friend sent this to me and it really hit me hard… Enjoy and think about what is happening to the USA …\u00c2\u00a0 Editor<\/em><\/p>\n

To:\u00c2\u00a0 President Obama and all 535 voting\u00c2\u00a0 members of the Legislature,\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

It is now official,\u00c2\u00a0 you are ALL corrupt morons:\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

The U.S.\u00c2\u00a0 Post Service was established in 1775. You have\u00c2\u00a0 had 234 years to get it right and it is\u00c2\u00a0 broke.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

Social\u00c2\u00a0 Security was established in 1935. You have had\u00c2\u00a0 74 years to get it right and it is\u00c2\u00a0 broke.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fannie\u00c2\u00a0 Mae was established in 1938. You have had 71\u00c2\u00a0 years to get it right and it is\u00c2\u00a0 broke.<\/p>\n

War on\u00c2\u00a0 Poverty started in 1964. You have had 45 years\u00c2\u00a0 to get it right; $1 trillion of our money\u00c2\u00a0 is confiscated each year\u00c2\u00a0 and transferred to “the poor” and they only want\u00c2\u00a0 more.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

Medicare\u00c2\u00a0 and Medicaid were established in 1965. You have\u00c2\u00a0 had 44 years to get it right and they are\u00c2\u00a0 broke.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

Freddie\u00c2\u00a0 Mac was established in 1970. You have had 39\u00c2\u00a0 years to get it right and it is\u00c2\u00a0 broke.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

The\u00c2\u00a0 Department of Energy was created in 1977 to\u00c2\u00a0 lessen our dependence on foreign oil. It has\u00c2\u00a0 ballooned to 16,000 employees with a budget of\u00c2\u00a0 $24 billion a year and\u00c2\u00a0 we import more oil than ever before. You had 32\u00c2\u00a0 years to get it right and it is an abysmal\u00c2\u00a0 failure.<\/p>\n

You have\u00c2\u00a0 FAILED in every “government service” you have\u00c2\u00a0 shoved down our throats while overspending our\u00c2\u00a0 tax dollars\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

AND YOU\u00c2\u00a0 WANT AMERICANS TO BELIEVE YOU CAN BE TRUSTED\u00c2\u00a0 WITH A GOVERNMENT-RUN HEALTH CARE\u00c2\u00a0 SYSTEM??<\/p>\n

Folks,\u00c2\u00a0 keep this circulating. It is very well stated.\u00c2\u00a0 Maybe it will end up in the e-mails of some of\u00c2\u00a0 our “duly elected’ and their staff\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 (They\u00c2\u00a0 never read anything) will clue them in on how\u00c2\u00a0 American’s\u00c2\u00a0 feel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
