Here, for your convenience, is a letter you can send to everyone who will not be getting your money next tax season.  Just fill in the appropriate recipient.

Send it to everyone you spend money with:



Dear (fine restaurant owner, lawn maintenance guy, electronics store, local charity),

I regret to inform you that I will no longer be able to (enjoy your restaurant, employ your lawn service, buy a new TV, give a tax deductible donation).

You see, I have to cut back on my budget and save for the upcoming Obama tax increases.  While I already pay FAR more than my fare share of taxes, our King has decided that I need to be punished further for my accomplishments.  I guess my success came from good fortune, trickery, or taking advantage of the poor, and had nothing to do with my working two jobs through college and living well within my means for so many years. 

Since I will be required to pay a much larger share of my income, and I cannot just print more money, I have to make some sacrifices.  I am afraid you are one of those sacrifices.  Instead, I will be giving my money to people who bought more house than they could afford, to financial institutions that profited for years and fell on bad times, or to pet projects of politicians to help them get re-elected.

Again, I cannot tell you how much it sickens me to take money I would spend with you and send it to Obama.  I suppose if too many others do this, you just might be added to the overflowing ranks of the unemployed brought on by the Obama recession.  Maybe then HE will send you some of my money, but probably not as much as you were earning when you actually worked.  I sincerely hope you did not vote for him; that would just be the saddest irony of all.

Here’s to change you can believe in.

Regards,
Your Customer
