It’s your money—not the government’s

Dear Fellow Patriot, I know it’s a busy week, so I’ll be brief. And besides, you already know the headlines: Inflation is soaring out of control. Interest rates are through the roof. National debt keeps piling up. And everyday Americans have less to save, more debt to pay, and a lower standard of living than they have in generations. So it’s really no wonder that nearly half of all Americans describe their personal financial situation as poor, while 63% say they disapprove of Biden’s handling of the economy—regardless of how they vote. Turns out that one of the few things we can all agree on is that your hard-earned money belongs to you, not the government. But sadly, 56% of Americans say they wouldn’t be able to cover an unexpected $1,000 bill. Which means that most Americas are only one surprise expense away from significant financial hardship. It really is that serious. And it’s time we stop griping about the problem. It’s time to advance solutions. Because griping won’t put more of your money back into your pocket … it won’t pay down your debt … it won’t put food on the table … and it won’t compel representatives in Congress (who, by the way, earn about $174,000 per year) to do anything about it. At Heritage, we aren’t beholden to reelections, party lines, or corporate lobbyists. And that means that we are free to fight on your behalf without being swayed by outside influences. Our commitment is to members like you, and you alone! And when it comes to restoring our nation’s financial stability, we’re going on the offensive. Our newly created 2023 Heritage Budget Blueprint includes 230 separate policy recommendations that aim to: - Reduce the national debt and bring down inflation - Cut $15.5 trillion from the federal budget over the next 10 years - Eliminate funding for global and left-wing organizations that work against your interests (but are funded by your tax dollars) - Create 6 million full-time jobs, permanently expand the economy by 6.2%, and increase the median worker’s after-tax wages by $2,200 per year But to get these recommendations into the hands of lawmakers and help them advance aggressive fiscal reform in 2023, [we need your help today.](=/ODI0LU1IVC0zMDQAAAGIgXg2ntWddkVQja1Pd7A1kjdd0Ht_T2XphRgyZVDJ2C2EXAQyh5_2XnlT_XMfGvf3ZLpPakyKGOZW44U=) I know that hardworking Americans like you are being forced to make unreasonable cuts—but by giving whatever you can right now, you’ll be investing in a better financial future for yourself, your family, and your community for years to come.
