My Letter to the White House


I hate that you guys are going to raise taxes. I came from nothing, and my husband and I both have advanced degrees now. We got loans, we worked during school and we are paying off those loans and supporting our family. Now, our taxes are going to go up while those who choose not to get student loans or work 40 hours and attend college at the same time are going to get tax cuts. It is just not fair. I resent it. Why bother working hard. I feel like I should have just waited for someone to come in and do all the hard work for me. I feel like all my sacrifices were not worth it.
Also, I can't believe you guys decided to mortgage my children's future. Why can't we all work hard, make smart decisions and live with the consequences? It eats me up that we bought a house we could afford. Again, I feel like we should have gotten ourselves in over our head and not read all the fine print in our mortgage documents because again the government is now coming to rescue those who didn't. We might have saved ourselves some time, energy and money had we chosen not to be responsible.
I so hope you guys succeed, but I have to say, I am sad. I am sad that our hard work, planning and responsibility is worth less now.
Good luck.
