Have Fun Working, America

I found some numbers that are interesting. You don't really have to be that smart to realize how much this matters to you...

U.S. Outstanding Public Debt-$8,102,057,683,460.88- In letters that is

Eight Trillion,One Hundred and Two Billion,Fifty-Seven Million, Six Hundred and Eighty-Three Thousand, Four Hundred and Sixty Dollars and Eighty-Eight Cents.

America has a tremendous debt, and with our great capitalist society the person held responsible is YOU!

Therefore, in order for us to even break even, you must pay the government $27,202.34.

That doesn't sound so bad does it? Well Lets take a look at our current economic situation in the U.S.

The average working man brought home approximately $21,587.00 according to the last census.

The average family of 3 brought home $50,046.00. Dividing the income you will get $16,682.00 per person (taxes not included).

The average cost of gas is approximately $2.50. The average american drives 26 miles to work each day. The average American's car will consume 28 miles to the gallon (interstate) and 34 (city). Therefore, the American public will spend almost $50.00 a week with no relief in sight.

There are 40,000,000 people below poverty level.

There are about 7,500,000 FAMILIES below poverty level.

1999 was the last Census. Take a look at the numbers.

Tax Cuts to the Rich, Corporations, and Cronies of the government. I FOR ONE WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS.

It's clear these days the government relies on YOU the working man of America to haul the burden, while giving the rich the easy road out.

This is why we as a nation should take action. The numbers are all negative and continue to be negative. As we speak the National Public Debt Increases by 2.82 Billion Dollars a DAY!

The only way is to use this government we have (though it cannot be trusted nor held accountable) and contact your Congressman.

It's your future, not theirs. Let them know they are screwing the common man.
