My son in law sent me this today... Really pi***d me off reading this!<br /><br /><br />Subject: You will pay upkeep/Secret Service for 5 Kerry mansions.<br /><br />It is good to be John F. Kerry....... The F stands for Forbes in case you <br />ever wondered.<br /><br />He is one of the richest Senators in Government. When someone is elected <br />president, it means the Secret Service has to protect the President and his <br />family as well as his property.<br /><br />The Kerry's have five US properties not counting the several foreign <br />properties they own too. The cost to run these homes are more than what the <br />average American could afford, even if the rent was free, and all you had to <br />pay the water, gas &electric. Including ground keepers, maintenance, pool, <br />and house keepers. To be President would require the taxpayers to pay for <br />all that now if elected. Including a complete staffed Secret Service <br />security 24 hours a day. In addition to that we will have to pay for each of <br />their homes for security improvements even if they never go to them all <br />there is that just in case. Who do you think will pay for all this? We Pay! <br />This takes all the expense off Kerry and puts it on us.<br /><br />Nevertheless, factor another major cost to Americans that Kerry does not <br />want you to know about.<br /><br />Becoming president would automatically include taking care of all their <br />properties with Secret Service Agents that includes 5 agents per 6 hour <br />shift 4 times a day 365 days of the year for the rest of their lives so long <br />as they own those properties. It comes with being President once you are <br />elected. It requires us the taxpayers, to pay for this as well as his annual <br />salary as well as his retirements including the cost of living adjustments <br />to boot. These salaries and protect all their real estate property with <br />Secret Service Agents and pay the bills for the rest of his life.<br /><br />In addition, feed the Secret Service Agents and rotate new ones every 6 <br />hours for the rest of his life.<br /><br />Do the math. Five properties need to be protected. This requires five Secret <br />Service Agents per shift, daily every six hours, per property! That is 20 <br />Secret Service Agents per day per property everyday including Holidays. Wow, <br />what does that cost?<br /><br />Lets say an average of 20 agents per property, each earning a about $60K per <br />agent to survey the perimeters and protect. Now times that by five <br />properties so far. That is if the Kerrys do not buy any more properties <br />afterwards. This also includes the Agents vehicles and repairs, gas, meals, <br />days off, paid vacation, and medical plan visits etc per agent.<br /><br />Who pays? YOU pay, the whole time they are alive after becoming President! <br />Is this the best use of our tax money electing Kerry to take care of all <br />their properties both foreign and domestic? On the other hand, shouldn't he <br />pay for his own? Yet, the Presidential salary could not afford it.<br /><br />The more I think about paying for Kerrys properties everyday, just makes me <br />happy keeping President Bush all the more merrier. Without raising taxes to <br />boot.<br /><br />How on earth would Kerry pay for everyone to have Healthcare, increase our <br />military, and have us pay to protect his investments, all without raising <br />our taxes? Tax and spend Kerry is his party motto.<br /><br />Which really has to make you wonder why anyone with his wealth, would take a <br />salary of that of a U.S. Senator, never mind wanna be President? Do you <br />believe him now why he needs to be the Prez? To serve the people? On the <br />other hand, the people serve Him and his wife!
