Write Your Congressmen Today

September 23rd, 2008 political

The house is supposed to “vote” on Thurs and the senate Friday on this particular act of lunacy. Since they’ve been so nice to include our representative government this time (in formality at least) I decided I’d let my legislators know my thoughts on it:

Webb / Warner / Boucher

I wrote you a handwritten letter last year in reference to the fair tax. This is my second communication with your office and it would also be written by hand, except for the urgency of this issue.

I strongly urge you NOT to support the current $700 billion bailout for the mortgage industry. It would be a grave violation of your duty to uphold the Constitution of the United States to authorize the spending of $9,000 of my family’s resources in this manner. It is ethically unjustifiable to provide a safety net from public funds for greed in the private sector. The consequences of malinvestment must be allowed to run their course.

Please reply to the message to let me know that you have received it and are taking my voice into consideration. If you feel otherwise, please help me understand your position.

Thank you for your diligent attention to how our tax money is best spent.

Dan Flynn adequately summarizes our nation’s pending foolishness in a recent post:

A capitalism without risk soon morphs into a capitalism without reward… The free market needs to be free of state intervention. There are enough incentives and disincentives to guide behavior in a manner that is beneficial to society. Creating artificial carrots and sticks only transforms rational behavior into irrational behavior. Coercion warps the market into doing things like lending money to people who don’t seem to have the capacity to pay it back. A free market, free of government coercion and government bailouts, generally does not behave in this way.
