Here is a letter I recently sent to Sandy Weill with a copy of my Citibank credit card bill. I think it is a good approach to point out the hypocrisy of the Bush supporters...
Dear Mr. Weill:
I recently read that you openly supported George W. Bush in the 2004 election and contributed the maximum allowable to his campaign. I take that to be an endorsement of his policies.
The full letter is below the jump.
Dear Mr. Weill:
I recently read that you openly supported George W. Bush in the 2004 election and contributed the maximum allowable to his campaign. I take that to be an endorsement of his policies.
George W. Bush supports cutting taxes under all circumstances even though the country runs higher and higher deficits. These deficits are not going to be paid in our lifetimes but will have to be paid by our children and grandchildren.
It is said that these tax cuts will help to create jobs. We know that you personally received $27 million from dividends in 2003 from the tax cut that you would not have received otherwise without paying taxes on this amount. And yet, the company that you control, Citigroup, has reduced it's workforce by over 7,000 people since 2001. I thought your candidate supported tax cuts for the wealthy so that people like you would create jobs, not reduce employment while you are making more and more money.
Therefore, in accordance with the policies of the President that you support, I am writing to ask you to please defer collection of my credit card account and bill my children and grand children. I will continue to charge on the card so that I can pay for things that I deem necessary (as the President does with the war in Iraq). I know that this may hurt your corporation's bottom line today, but it will help me to have what I want in the here and now to not pay you until a future date when my children can afford to pay off this debt.
Please let me know what paperwork you will require to restructure my debt in accordance with the policies that you supported in the Presidential campaign.
Sincerely,
Dale
