I probably shouldn't post this as it was just another of the e-mails going around but since I saw the title of this thread I decided to go ahead and post it anyway. If it offends, then please one of the moderators delete the post. Also since I have no way to put it where I can just put the URL to it, I have to cut & paste the whole thing.

It seems right to me:
Dear Fellow Business Owners
As a business owner who employs 30 people, I have resigned myself to the
fact that Barack Obama will be our next president, and that my taxes and
fees will go up in a BIG way.

To compensate for these increases, I figure that the Customer will have
to see an increase in my fees to them of about 8-10%. I will also have to
layoff six of my employees.

This really bothered me as I believe we are family here and didn't know
how to choose who will have to go. So, this is what I did.I strolled through the parking lot and found eight Obama bumper stickers on my employees cars. I have decided these folks will be the first to be laid off.

I can't think of another fair way to approach this problem.

Ron

No more work and the Messiah is going to pay for my gas?

I've just changed my vote. Free money! No work! The government is going to pay for everything! Yahoo!

Is this the future of America?
God help us. Please.

Warren, I think it's not "Cream of Crap", it's just plain CRAP!

All I got to say is, there are a whole lot of stupid people in this country that actually think Barry is going to give them a free ride.

Hard work was always a thing of the past for Barry folks,

PS..I like the bumper sticker method for reducing the workforce.

Bill, soon after 'O'NO! made that 'spread the wealth' comment, I thought the same thing.........IF! 'O'NO! buys this election, you'll be hearing a lot of....where's my check!..where's my check!.

Of all the political BS that has been going on in this forum for the past few months, this statement sums it up the best.

VERY well put Bill.

It is amazing to me that people actually think this will make America a better place. What in the ever loving hell are these people thinking? If you put a damn criminal in the Whitehouse, things are supposed to get better?

WTF is wrong with people now days!

Ron,

Saw nothing wrong with that! Its the truth.

I work on a military base. Nasa, Army, etc. Tons of funding comes in here from Washington. It amazes me how many fools out here have Obama stickers on their cars. Can't wait to hear the *****ing when the RIFs start (reduction in force). It will start with cancelled programs. Obama has pledged a 25% cut in the defense budget. For those of you in Rio Linda, that is about $200 BILLION. That will mean lots of RIF actions. I hope the management employs the same strategy here.

Mike

That is how I would handle it as well.

I asked a manager out here if he would employ the same strategy (if he could) when it comes to RIFs, and he said HeII yeah!

One reason middle classers might get a tax break under Obama is they won't have a job to pay the taxes.

I finally got my stimulus check... it wasn't very stimulating. Seems someone who does not pay taxes got most of mine.

You know, at some level that simple fact will make a win for BO a lot more easier to take. Really, the end of the Clinton's, period.

If Obama wins, it might be a win for my state (Taxachusetts). Obama may very well want our governor (an empty suit in the same mold as Obama - all talk, no action) and one of our senators (Just For Kerry) in his cabinet. Boy, would that be a plus for MA. But I'd still prefer McCain/Palin.

Whadya mean no action!?! By the end of his first month he had already redecorated with expensive drapes and upgraded his car to a Caddy DTS, courtesy of you and me!

Steve - Obama and Patrick .. what a pair. Obama just took (stole) all of the empty rhetoric that Patrick barfed up to get elected. Patrick promised the world he would ....
"Change things for the better"

The only thing that has changed is that the crooked legislators are being "outed". There is more of them now than there ever has been.

No more work for me. I'm putting in for all the entitlements. I am going to turn in my citizenship and become and illegal immigrant like Obama's aunt living in subsidized housing. She was supposed to be deported a decade ago. Another great acquaintance of Barry. Radicals, arsonists, terrorists, racists, felons .... and the list goes on.

I hate to say this, but if Barack was white (100%, not the 50% he is now) he would never had been heard from at all. He would have had trouble even getting elected to the Illinois legislature if he was white and had all of the slimy people as mentors and friends that he does now.

Unbelievable.

I'm just curious...if you give a guy that has 2 kids and $100 million dollars a $1 million dollar tax break, OR you give a guy that has a job, 2 kids, and makes $40k/year a $5000 tax break, who will spend the money first?

History proves you wrong. In 1976, Reagan was defeated in the primaries by Ford, who was then defeated by Carter. In 1980, Reagan comes roaring back, and we all know the rest of that story.
