Career Politicians

I keep hearing people say they want change in our Federal Government. They want someone who is in touch with the American people. How can candidates who spend all their time in the star studded, fairy tail, rarified atmosphere of Washington possibly know what we the people really want and need. These people live on our taxes getting filthy rich or filthy richer year after year after year. How can that drunken sot Ted Kennedy possibly know what I want or need? He has no idea what it is like to be subject to the laws of this land, to have to struggle just to eat or put in a little insulation in our homes. That to go out to the movies takes almost a full days wage. He doesn’t care that our dream vacation of a camping trip with our children is now out of the question because of the high price of gas. He doesn’t care because we pay for his vacations, we pay for not only his gas but also his Lincoln Continental or his chauffer driven stretch limo. We pay for his dinner parties we pay for his plane rides; we pay for the clothes on his back. So while he parties, gets drunk and kills his girlfriend (yes we even paid for that) we struggle trying to make ends meet. The same goes for Obama, Hillery and John we pay for everything so why do they care if the bogus global warming takes food off our tables, the unnecessary high gas and heating bills sap every penny we make. They have no idea and they don’t care. We will foot the bills for the bogus global warming which will eventually reach into the trillion-dollar mark keeping us from being able to buy a dress for our daughters to go to the prom or to send them to collage. Do you think they care about that? Nope as long as they get paid their two hundred thousand dollars a year, as long as their retirement funds are separate from ours, they can get their medical free for the rest of their lives and hundreds of thousands of other benefits why would they care.

Do you care? Do you ever consider why these politicians promise us the moon but give us nothing but tax increases? Why after years and years do the same men and women in the same offices keep getting elected and yet they produce nothing but higher and higher taxes for us while they get all the good things for themselves? Are we the American public really that stupid? We get screwed time after time with the same promises and no results. Now the same democrats who promised change if they were put in charge of Congress are promising us the same things again. That was two years ago and what has changed? My taxes are so high I might lose my home, gas prices are two and a half dollars higher then they were when they took over, I might have to give up my life saving medicine because I can’t afford the price because Congress is taking almost every penny I make, what in the heck has changed? They lied then and they are lying now.

But I know a secret. There is a non-political man running for the office that the flip-flopping, go with the flow Ron Kind now holds. I have talked with him in a limited way and I have read all I could find on him and boy does he sound good. His policies are practical and tax reducing. I haven’t talked with him enough to hear him flesh out his plan for achieving his goals but I will and at least he is not a career politician. He hasn’t as of yet received a penny from our taxes, and I hope he keeps it that way, and special interest groups haven’t polluted him. Who is he? His name is Paul Stark and you can read more info on him on his web page “Paul Stark for Congress”. You can also read a letter he wrote, after Ron Kind danced around the questions he was asked at Eau Clair, on this website. Look for it and read it for yourself to see how he stands on issues.

I know this is a long letter but I needed to say these things and I hope you will think about them and check out “Paul Stark for Congress” he can’t help but do a better job then all those career politicians now in Congress.
