Dear Sir:
I have a question: which came first – the goose or the egg? Don’t
wrinkle your brow and glance at your teleprompter -- this is not a difficult
question – eggs don’t hatch without a goose to sit on them.
Let’s try another one. -- which came first – the taxers or the taxees? That’s evidently a more difficult question because you, the
most powerful man in the world, recently got it wrong. Very wrong.
Recently you made quite a speech
in Roanoke, Virginia, in which you figuratively addressed small businessmen
saying, “You didn’t build that.” You went on to explain that without public
works, “roads and bridges,” a business couldn’t exist. Your implication was
that government agencies and activities are the foundation on which industry
rests, that without public policy there would be no private enterprise.

P-a-l-e-e-z-e, Mr. Obama, that statement is almost as
offensive as your ignorant proclamation that this country is not a Christian
nation, and don’t give me that “out of context” palaver. It is the context of
your entire presidency that makes this so objectionable.
Obviously, Sir, you haven’t thought very hard or very long
about this country and what it’s all about, or you would know better. The truth
is that without private, moneymaking endeavors, the government would have
nothing, would be nothing. I realized that yesterday when I ran across a news
tidbit about California’ sales tax revenues dropping
by 33.5%. No. Really?!
