Subject: Government Says You Owe Wall Street $3,278

Dear American Taxpayer,
Like most Americans, I'm sure you were glued to
the news about the "financial crisis" and the government's "fix" for the
problem. You probably heard that the government was going to come in and save
the mortgage industry by bailing out failing corporations. And, you probably
heard both Barack Obama and John McCain say that this bailout was necessary,
and good for the economy.
What you probably didn't hear was that it was
going to cost up to $1 trillion dollars, and you were responsible for this
money.
"American taxpayers will come up with the
money," says the New York Times.
Such a number is hard to conceptualize if
you're not the government. So, in order to show you just how much $1 trillion
dollars really is, we've put together these figures:
One trillion dollars ($1,000,000,000,000) is
enough money:
To buy everybody living in Los Angeles at
least one Lamborghini Gallardo.
To buy 88,052, 394' custom mega yachts;
enough to stretch around ¼ of the world.
To buy everyone living in Belize and Malta
a Manhattan apartment.
To get half of the Democratic Party into a
fundraiser for Barack Obama at the $28,500 admission price.
To give one out of every two men in the
United States a Men's Presidential Rolex watch.
To buy every woman in the United States a
Tiffany Diamond Starfish Pendant.
To get two Mitsubishi 73" HDTVs for every
household in America.
To buy four copies of The Office: Season
Four on DVD, to every person on earth.
To send everybody in America on an
all-inclusive vacation to Tahiti (and some people can stay a few extra days).
AND
$1 trillion is enough money for everyone in
Buffalo, NY to buy their own 65-acre island in Panama.
This is how much the government is going to
cost you (roughly $3,278 for every man, woman and child in the United States).
Barack Obama is for it. John McCain is for it.
But, Bob Barr and Libertarian Party are against
it.
"No one voted to pour taxpayer funds into Wall
Street," says Bob Barr, the Libertarian Party's presidential nominee, "and no
one voted for the government to take over an insurance company. If the Federal
Reserve can spend as much money as it desires to bail out any company that it
desires, is there anything that it cannot do with taxpayer funds?
Who are you supporting this November?
The two parties who are asking you to pick up
the tab for the mistakes of Wall Street? Or, the Libertarian Party, who says
YOU, the taxpayer, should not be on the hook for America's mortgage crisis.
Please consider supporting the Libertarian
Party today, so that we may be able to raise the alarm about this dangerous
road the Republicans and Democrats have put us on.
When Barack Obama and John McCain come together
to bail out these companies with YOUR money, you need a party and a candidate
who says ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
Send a message to Republicans and Democrats
that you will no longer support individuals who think you're responsible for
the mistakes of Wall Street.
Send a message to the only political party
willing to stand up for you.
Send a message that you're ready for change.
Live free,
Andrew Davis
Director of Communications
Libertarian Party
