Dear President Obama

Dear Mr. President,

Very proud to be a Democrat tonight; your speech made me very hopeful, less afraid, and very proud.  The GOP has clearly sold their souls and lost all integrity.  We do not live in a free market economy!!  If we don't have you standing up for the working classes in this climate of perverted, corrupted capitalism, we will all be serving our lives and the lives of our great grand children for the benefit of a very small minority.

When we have big corporations, with big lobbyist and big lawyers buying politicians to keep drilling, keep profiting at nauseatingly vulgar percentages, compared to the other 90%, who work just as hard if not harder just to out food on the table, you and the brave among our party become the only hope of the poor and overworked.

Regulated capitalism can work, but the lobbyist of certain industries tilt the law to favour certain industries through tax breaks and subsidies and sweetheart deals.  Therefore, the practice of pure capitalism is unrealistic.  For this reason, we should count on our government to protect us from exploitation of our economic system.  But even this is corrupt, as politicians who determine policy are often bought by large corporations.

Keep it up, Mr. President!

Your faithful servant,

DT
