Opinion: Obama, Where's My Free Money?
President Barack Obama apparently plans to turn our country into a socialist nation, forcing the rich to redistribute their wealth. I haven't received any of Tom Cruise's money yet.

Dear President Obama,
It seems that I’m writing a lot of letters to you lately. It’s been about a year since your election, and you caused a lot of divide in the country. Actually, I don’t think it was you in particular. I think divide came because you’re a Democrat and there’s this definitive, mistaken correlation between Democrats and Liberals. Liberal is a bad word in this country, ya know.
But because of that distinction, I’ve been really disappointed. People keep telling me that we’re now going to be socialist. The rich are now going to give more of their money to the poor. Free loaders are going to get even more free stuff. The government will get bigger and do all the work for us.
Mr. Obama, I’m sadly disappointed so far. Where’s my free money?
You see, I’m a veteran. I served for 10 years, and I’m still working for the Federal Government. So far I haven’t received ANY free money. I could use it. I refuse to actually take on a second job, like picking crops in California. I think I’m too good for that.
I did get this check
from you guys for $250, but I don’t count that as free, seeing as how I paid my taxes and it was essentially mine in the first place. And you can never pay a veteran enough back monetarily, as far as I’m concerned.
And I heard about this stimulus package that made it able for states and other institutions to finance a LOT of stuff. I’ve seen it in California. They are fixing roads all over the place. But I didn’t get a dime of that. Where’s my free money? Oh, wait. You didn’t come up with the stimulus package idea. That was the guy before.
In this socialist presidency, I would have expected by now that our Congress would have limited how much we would be charged for groceries, my car bill, etc. But none of those prices have changed, really. It seems that since we’re truly capitalists, these businesses are still pricing items according to what people will pay for them. I thought you took over the car companies and made them lower prices! Won’t you fire them, please? Where’s that free money at? Surely it isn’t fair that I drive two cars made in this decade and STILL have to pay for them the same as everyone else.
Mr. Obama, I hope you see my point. I haven’t received any of these rich people’s monies that people said I was going to get. Tom Cruise hasn’t sent me anything. He clearly has a lot of cash. I haven’t even seen a plan that you forced Congress to vote on that would require rich people to do that. Oh, I’m mistaken. You can’t force Congress to vote on anything like that. It would be communist or something. I heard you were one of those too!
I drank this Obama juice because I knew that once you were President you were going to just start handing out cash and making the government this giant monstrosity! I’m an American, damnit! I should have the government take care of my every whim because they owe it to me! You don’t even have that many more czars than the other guys did to make that happen! You haven’t made any new offices, you are always f
ighting with Nancy Pelosi because SHE keeps wanting to give money away, and you keep picking Republicans and non-liberals like Hillary Clinton to do jobs. I thought you had a deep-seeded hatred for white people!
I’m disappointed. You appear to be fundamentally trying to change the country, and that isn’t working out for me right now. You told people they could refinance their homes but only IF they didn’t buy giant fishing boats with their fake equities. Those guys have to suffer for knowingly getting home loans they can’t afford, while others who were lied to well get a halfway decent chance in starting over. But isn’t that the American dream to live off of credit and buy what we can’t afford? Where’s that free money?
You have these other ideas
where teachers who do well can actually earn more money, while teachers who suck will have to find work elsewhere. You want kids in school longer. That cuts into my Hawaii vacation that I need this free money to pay for! You mean, we have to actually take PRIDE in our relationships with children and not just make better money because we simply exist? That’s un-American to some!
Mr. Obama, please e-mail me once you start handing out this free money you were supposed to be giving out. Actually, you don’t have to. Fox News will surely broadcast it when it happens. I’m sure every American who is against your socialist ways will give that money back to you. The same way they’ve stopped taking Medicare and Social Security, which are essentially socialist since we’re all paying money to take care of everyone. If they do that, can you throw some my way? I have two car payments to make every month. I’m too good for public transit.
Sincerely, Paul Bright
