Dear (Blank),
I hope you have read Kevin
Canfield’s columns from his “View From the Middle” perspective on debt and
taxes, or seen his video. I Share Kevin’s
concern about our annual deficits and the accumulated debt that they have delivered. I believe this is the most important issue
that faces us as a country today, and I am asking you to do all you can to
eliminate our deficits and balance our budget.
Here are just a few things that I would like you to pursue as you try to
resolve this situation:
-Partner
with business, large and small, small to create jobs. This will both increase
government revenues but will also reduce our spending.
-Reform
taxes. No company should be able to make
ten billion dollars in profit and pay no taxes, as GE did.
-Eliminate
wasteful programs and departments like the department of education
-Reform
Social Security and Medicare. They can
not be sustained with their current structures.
John, we need to make these tough
choices today or our children will inherit a future with more debt than they
can handle and with less freedom and less opportunity. Please push for these common sense changes.
Sincerely,
Your Name
Your Address
