HELLO ALL

you said you will be celebrating your 30th birthday.  this means you will 
be working and paying taxes for hopefully another 30 years.  right now 
the average tax payer is struggling under a 40% of income tax burden. we 
only get to spend 60% of our take home pay.  
the president's office office of budget and management has determined 
that if the size and cost of government is not reduced in twenty years 
the average tax payer will be paying taxes of 85% of their income. how 
does that sound to you.  the government will TAKE 85% of your pay and you 
get to keep 15% to spend on you and your family.  if you dont mind being 
a slave to the federal government - please go ahead and vote for 
wellstone and clinton and the rest of the big spenders,  just remember  
IT IS YOUR MONEY THEY ARE SPENDING AND SOMEDAY YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY THE 
BILL. the more they spend the bigger YOUR  payments will have to be.

in addition to income taxes lets talk about social security.  right now 3 
tax payers support one ss recipient.  in twenty years it will be one tax 
payer for each recipient.  you will be paying three times the amount we 
are now struggling under.

what does all this mean - most all your take home pay will be going to 
the government in one form or another.  DOES THIS SOUND LIKE A FUTURE YOU 
WHAT TO LIVE IN.  WELL, IF WE DONT DO SOMETHING IT WILL COME TO PASS.
it is not the future i want to hand to my young daughter and it is not a 
future i want to hand to you regardless of your present misguided 
intentions.  

vote dole/kemp - your future and your kids future depends on it.

regards
david granneman
