Unemployed Vs The Congress

I may be a little biased on this subject but I also know of a few other people who are in my shoes so I would like to be their voice as well. First I must ask "who the hell does Congress think they are"? They don't want to pay out any more unemployment benefits to people, I get it, there are people who do abuse the system and those people have ruined it for the rest of us but with that said one bad apple does not spoil the whole bunch of us either. There are a lot of us who hop online, read papers, pound the pavement looking and tap into any resource we can with hopes of getting hired on for at least a 25-30% cut in pay. So here is my little letter to Congress that I would like to say to them:

Dear Congress of the United States of America,
We the unemployed would like to thank you for letting us know we will not be able to live in our homes next year. We would also like to thank you for making sure our bills are not paid, the children are not fed and we cannot afford our medication. We would love to thank you for distorting the truth in the unemployment rate so things look better, (just to fill you in Mr/Mrs. Congressperson "When a person stop collecting unemployment benefits does not mean they are not still unemployed" but instead you list them as "NOT UNEMPLOYED"!!! great job people). I am tired of all of you talking out of your ass when all you do is look at numbers on a spreadsheet, HEY! stupid, numbers can be played with to look better or worse or do you not know this. Then a statement gets released that jobs are on the rise.....HEY! its December you fucks its called temporary help, I am so glad you find us that stupid. It is refreshing to know that you think the American public can be that easily fooled.

Here is an idea, since most of you make over $150,000 per year why don't you take $50,000 of that and put it a fund. Now there are 535 people who make up congress so lets do the math $50k x535=2,675,000, I guess it could help. For the most of you that is about a 25% cut in pay many people across the U.S. have taken no raises, a cut in benefits and a cut in pay. Some of us have taken up to a 50% cut in pay which is what I get on unemployment 50% of my old salary which now thanks to you I will be at a 100% loss of everything. Thanks!

So I would like to conclude with a simple plea, please try not to step on us as you are walking down the street. Say "Hi" every once in awhile, it will make us think someone cares and most importantly, Have a Merry Christmas. (insert sarcasm comment here)
