This is from my friend who was the original poster of the above entry.
I googled Greg Knox of Knox machinery and thanked him for taking his time to respond to the OEM. He took the time to write me back...This is how change is made, through networking. Now I have a better perspective of where he comes from...
Mike,
I am truly humbled by all of your praise and support.
The response to that letter is overwhelming me...
I came into my office about a 3 weeks ago @ 6:00am and was greeted by Detroit’s pathetic plea…and my fingers just started typing like they were possessed…and 2 hours later I hit my reply button…
I literally just copied my Mom and a small handful of friends - for kicks...
I think the letter benefits from the fact that it was written @ 6:00am (before I had a chance to get any coffee into me, which generally has a stabilizing effect!)
I have always hated waking early, and probably always will, but it’s never stopped me from getting up @ 5:00am to start my day.
I’m part of what Obama calls the “privileged class” – I guess that means I have the privilege of working countless 80 hours weeks for the past 20 years so I can keep my wife @ home to raise our children…but I should feel guilty and feel compelled to share this money that just keeps finding me with those who are “more needy”…I am more needy, darn it – I have 6 kids I won’t be able to fully fund for college, but if I could have them stop robbing me in the form of the excessive taxes I pay (because of all that money – that just keeps finding me”) I could easily afford it…
Joe Biden says it’s “Patriotic” to pay taxes…what a “Patriot”…I wonder if he forks over close to six figures a year in taxes…or has ever paid $75,000 in a year to give all of the employees in his company 100% full family health care coverage…oh no, that’s right, he like the Obamanation is part of the truly privileged elite class who have those RIDICULOUS bloated pensions and free health care for life…which they don’t really need because from what I can see most politicians seem to have nice deals cut on the side for themselves…
Makes my blood boil…
Keep spreading the word and fighting the good fight – I know there are more sane ones like us out there than the media lets on…
God, family and country - let's all stop overcomplicating things.
Thank you for passing it on
Merry Christmas
