Dear Congress,

[libmom74]

I did not cause the recession,

"I am deeply concerned by the budget passed by the House on April 15. It is simply not in keeping with our values to ask senior citizens, children, and Americans who have been hurt by the recession to make extreme sacrifices in order give tax breaks to the wealthy and to multinational corporations that increasingly do their business and pay taxes overseas.

The House budget appears to me to be driven by a dangerous partnership between radical ideologues and big multinational companies strangling our democracy with their wealth. Frankly, it makes me doubt the integrity of our political process and exacerbates my fear that I cannot trust Congress to represent my interests - at all.

Let me be very clear about what I'd like from you: Increase taxes on the wealthy, close tax loopholes (especially on capital gains and dividends), cut defense spending before you begin taking needed services from the most vulnerable among us and curtail investing in our future"
