There are 375,000 people in America who earn more than US$1 million per year and yet just 45 of them had the courage and patriotism to ask the President to allow the Bush tax cuts to expire.
I salute them for putting the love of their country over their pocketbook.
If only more Americans would do the same.
Dear Mr President,
We are writing to urge you to stand firm against those who would put politics ahead of their country.
For the fiscal health of our nation and the well-being of our fellow citizens, we ask that you allow tax cuts on incomes over $1,000,000 to expire at the end of this year as scheduled.
We make this request as loyal citizens who now or in the past earned an income of $1,000,000 per year or more.
We have done very well over the last several years. Now, during our nation’s moment of need, we are eager to do our fair share. We don’t need more tax cuts, and we understand that cutting our taxes will increase the deficit and the debt burden carried by other taxpayers. The country needs to meet its financial obligations in a just and responsible way.
Letting tax cuts for incomes over $1,000,000 expire, is an important step in that direction.
Sincerely,
I salute them for putting the love of their country over their pocketbook.
