Dear Mr. Dole,
I agree with you that you were at a disadvantage with the setup for
your rebuttal speech to the State of the Union.
The reason I am writing to you, however, is that I must tell you
what your tax code writing has done to my life. I do hold you
responsible for this, you see. And I try to explain enough of the
particulars of the situation you have manifested in my life to people
with whom I come in contact, every day, for them to understand
what I mean by the enclosed card. That is, I talk to the cashiers at
the grocery store and the gas station, the librarians, the people at
Motor Vehicle and the people at the post office and at Kinko's, etc.
Obviously you weren’t the only legislator involved, but the key role
you played should be made known to everyone who might consider
voting for you, since voting for anyone who participated in bringing
this unconscionable code into existence is voting for what is being
done to me and others like me. And what is being done to me is
wrong.
I will enclose my letter to Don Boroughs of U.S. News & World
Report, written after the article he wrote didn't appear, my letter of
earlier this morning to a "friend" and a letter to the mental health
people she contacted. And, to clarify why I hold the language of the
code particularly to blame, I will also enclose copies showing where
IRS made its first harmful error.
I don't know if you remember my grandfather at all, Allan B. Kline,
he was president of the Farm Bureau when Benson was Secretary
of Agriculture. My grandfather was constantly arguing with Benson.
I only mention this because the other day at Kinko's the man next
to me at the cut and paste table and I got to talking about
Washington, he had been there when my grandfather was, and did
remember him.
In terms of my grandfather, a staunch Republican, whom I loved, I
think he was misguided in not helping me with my education. If the
Veterans of Foreign Wars had not given me a scholarship, I would
not have gone to college, at least not when I graduated from high
school. Also, because my grandfather was a particularly busy man,
his children suffered. He did a great job at work, but my father was
neglected, and my father deserted many times when I was a child,
until when I was 11 he didn't come back. I mention this because the
values you subscribe to, and there we have another writing type
word, are deeply questionable. A tax cut for the wealthy is not a
good idea. Don't you really think that kind of thing affects crime?
To me, it is a crime and it engenders crime. Don't you really think
that the stock market rising on the backs of the newly unemployed
is not a good thing?
What I want to ask you to do, is to start thinking about people
more, and money and wealth less.
Sincerely,
Karen Kline
