Open letter to President Obama

obamalogo1Dear President Obama:

You’ve said that you plan to save or create 3-million jobs.  It’s too late to save mine.  At the end of the summer, Tropical Storm Fay tore through northeast Florida and destroyed my boss’s house.  By October, she could no longer continue as she had, so she had to eliminate my job.

As I am now a geezer, no one seems interested in hiring me.  I need a job created.

However, reports show that for each of the 3-million jobs, you are planning to spend $217,000.  That seems like a lot of money to me since the average job in this country earns $40,000.  I’m willing to make you a better deal.

Send me $50,000 a year, and I’ll pass up your having to create a job for me.  It will save you some trouble, and it will save the taxpayers $167,000.

Sounds good, huh?  When can I expect my check?

Sincerely,

Juan Paxety

    better yet..just send each of us that $217,000. I will guantee that about 90 percent of us will spend most of it. Hell, I could pay off my mortgage and buy a new pickup and Jayco and still have money left to hit the road and enjoy what time is left before the economy REALLY comes tumbling down around our ears. Hell, I might ever by a few mule teams and go into the Teamster business…
