John Hinderaker over at Powerline has some very sound advice for you Mr. President, I hope you take it to heart and follow it.
I'd like to add my own .02 in too.
Mr. President, we have a robust and growing economy, but if you listen to the MSM, you'de almost believe that we are almost in a second Great Depression.
And if we don't take a firm stand on reducing the amount of deficit spending, that may come to pass yet.
Our citizens are under a heavy tax burden, and that burden is much larger than they realize because so many of the taxes they are paying are hidden. what is worse, the burden is borne by the most productive citizens as a matter of fact, but the VISIBLE burden is being borne by the middle and uppermiddle class.
Please, Mr. President, come out in favor of the Fair Tax, your endorsement could be the best boost possible at the moment. The reissue of The Fair Tax Book (N. Boortz/Rep. H. Linder) debuted at #3 on the NYT's Best Seller list, the highest debut of a paperback in over 40 years. The People are starting to catch on, and if they are not heeded, the results could be dire for those Politco's that didn't care to listen.
We also need to reform the education system to ensure that we have an informed electorate. PLEASE! Return educational control back to the states and local communities, where it belongs. Dismantal the Education Dept. and back any measure that reduces the power that the NEA now holds over the hostages of our future, our children.
If you truly want to leave a legacy of strengthening our Republic, these are items you must address. You have done well in your policies against Terror, but what good is it if you ignore the rot that is ruining us from within?
Fair taxation and REAL education (not the indoctrination we currently are employing) are the two lynchpins to retrieving our great nation from the brink and returning it to it's greatest possible potential. We CAN do it, we MUST do it; the only question is, who will lead us to it? If not a true statesman of the political class, WE THE PEOPLE will be forced to do it ourselves, and that could be a troubling time indeed, in terms of both violence and uncertainty; I think we would survive it, but the political class certainly would not, and there there is no reason that we should have to suffer such a period of upheaval, if YOU and your bretheran would just do the right thing. Be Bold, Be Brave, Be Honest, and the people will follow.
