To the Editor:

Beware of shrewd individuals bearing stimulus gifts.

“Chicago Sly’s” politics favoring a freeloading socialism society leans to a network of total government control. He may seem like a favorable proponent of our existing government, but don’t be deceived. I believe he actually wants to devastate our economy and set forth a new economic government as he refers to as “change.” He continuously establishes a financial collapse of our nation’s crippling wealth with his policies.

Obama has accumulated the same debt in three years that George W. Bush accumulated in eight years. Wow! I refer to our president as “Sly” because it captures his political path. The definition of sly is skillful at trickery and cunning. Most politicians are crafty, but this president goes well beyond.

He’s influenced by European economist Karl Marx with socialist intentions and a desire to overthrow the existing government to start a new economic system. These revisionists became known as Social Democrats wanting to achieve socialism legally through popular elections. Sound familiar• He’s making our economy as difficult as a three-legged cat trying to bury its doo on a frozen pond.

We need a capitalistic leader for how America should be: a balanced budget and work for what you get. Business owners should profit for their education and hard work to expand and provide employment, not give it away to freeloaders for the stimulus of socialism.

Sly has initiated the rolling snowball downhill for our country and grandchildren.
