A Call to the President - Lots of Twisted Words

Dear Mr President,
Saying words that sound hopeful and creating hope are two completely different things; and twisting words around themselves is simply another form of lying. Please stop lying to the American people.
You say that you are creating tax breaks for the middle class. Great, but tax breaks are a very different thing than tax cuts. A tax break doesn't reduce government spending, and tends to lead to a larger deficit. You campaigned saying you were a fiscally responsible man, yet your first budget takes the deficit of the last 8 years (around $800 billion, arguably) and more than doubles it (calling for a $1.75 trillion deficit). Then of course, in that same budget, you raise taxes on individuals, to the tone of $636 billion over the next 10 years, and on business $353 billion over the next 10 years. Those tax raises will effect each and every American citizen.
Mr. President, please stop twisting your words to hide your true meaning to the public. You campaigned on hope, and speak constantly of how this economy is "in a dire catastrophe". You campaigned on promises to help people, and plan on raising taxes on the same people. You  campaigned on freedom, yet put more big government in the way of peoples liberty's. Mr. President, I ask you to reconsider.
