Open Letter to Senator Stevens of Alaska,
Please do your country a favor, quit like you threatened to do on the floor of the Senate Chamber. That part of the Capitol Building in its glorious gilded splendor, is the taxpayer’s house, not yours, and you disgraced that chamber this week. You threw a tantrum that would make a spoiled 4 year old proud. You are too old and senile to help your country, so do as you threatened… QUIT NOW.
The 223 million dollars to build a bridge to an island in your state where only 50 people live, is a theft of taxpayers money, a bribe to keep your sorry ass in the Senate.
Taxpayers of America it is time to revolt against these thieves in Washington called Senators. They take almost half of our paycheck to spend like this. It used to be something to chuckle at…lol...pork. Now it is on such a scale that it has become unbearable. They cannot keep on spending like there is no tomorrow. There is a tomorrow, and the children today will have to pay for all the unnecessary largess of the self righteous Senators and Representatives. A crime of monumental proportion is taking place and no one seems to notice.
Let me put this crime in perspective.
For the 223 million dollars that will be spent on a bridge to nowhere in Alaska, the taxpayers could have bought every family on that island, (est. to be 12 families) A Lear Jet, yes a brand new $4,000,000 model, not the economy version.
It would cost about $2,000,000 to keep a pilot on standby for twenty years, at a $100,000 annual salary. So the taxpayers could supply the jets, and pay for a pilot to fly them for twenty years, all for a cost of about 72 million dollars.
Each of these families could also have a cement landing strip poured and paid for by the taxpayers, along with an unlimited supply of jet1 fuel needed for the LearJets. Yes all of this could be done and the total cost to the taxpayers would be less than half the cost of what will be spent on that bridge.
I am not always clairvoyant,
but wait, it is coming into focus..........I can see the name of that boondoggle bridge in Alaska right now....the "Senator Stevens Memorial Bridge". Funny how I can see the future, isn't it?
And to show that the taxpayers aren’t bitter, we could supply these jetsetting Alaskans, all the little bags of honey roasted peanuts they could ever eat. All of this riduculous wasteful spending would not cost half of what will be siphoned out of our pockets to pay for a pork project bridge, that will be dedicated in the honor (LOL) of a bloated, selfimportant, megaegotist and thief, who pretends to be something he never will be...a public servant. If these money grubbing swine of the senate, come to their senses and forget about this bridge, and only buy new Lear Jets for the occupants of that Island, Our nation could use the savings to help the needy hurricane victims. Ah Hem.....the millions of people who lost so much.
Do the math yourself, it may be laughable, but we are the ones who are going to have to pay for this. I don’t care which party he is from…..he is a pompous acting criminal and should be in jail. Thievery on a scale this large makes me want to quit working hard just to pay more taxes for these criminals to steal.
Someone will have to pay for the billions and billions of dollars of pork the Senators and Representatives added to the latest transportation bill. And why President Bush did not veto it, I’ll never understand.
The lowly taxpayers can plainly see that it doesn’t matter who is in the White House, who is in the Senate, or House……Republican or Democrat, they will use the power they have to steal our nation’s blood, the financial blood that is. I am sorry to be so gloomy, but tell me how we will ever be able to pay for all of this? This is only about one States pork; the bill had billions and billions of dollars allocated for wasteful pork projects.
The thought just hit me…… the Washington crowd keeps up bitter partisan fights, to divert our attention while they pick our pockets.
I HAVE HAD ENOUGH. LET’S DO SOMETHING BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.
