Dear Fellow Business Owners,
As a Business owner who employs 30 people, I have resigned myself to the fact that Barack Obama, wlll 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, 10%. I will also have to lay off 6 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 thru the parking lot and found, 8 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. It seemed to be the best way to spread the wealth by picking those that seem to believe in it. If you have a better idea, let me know. I'm sending this letter to all the Business owners that I know.
Sincerely, Ward JOOA Corp.
Sounds good to me. Tough noogies, Obamamites. Enjoy the government you supported.
P.S. I’d lay them off anyway, even if McCain wins.
That’s GREAT! Maybe you could fire all 8, then hire 2 more back the next month that don’t believe you should provide them with welfare!!!
Let them eat cake at Obama’s house!
LOL! You think just like I do! He said he needed to layoff 6 workers. He found eight bumper stickers. To be fair, he really needs to layoff all eight.
” So, this is what I did. I strolled thru the parking lot and found, 8 Obama bumper stickers on my employees cars. I have decided these folks will be the first to be laid off.”
Good lesson on Obamanomics I say...
Great way to pick out the slackers in any organization....the bumpersticker test!!!
This is one of those simple economic truths that are mis-understood by the Obamamanics. They think "yeah, hit the big businesses with high taxes!" without realizing that businesses intend to maintain profits and will do whatever they have to do to survive. They will pass the cost onto the very Obamamaniacs that voted for the taxes, and they will cut jobs. Result? Jimmy Carter 1976 malaise economy. Double-digit inflation, double-digit unemployment. Wasn't fun in 1976-1980, how quick we forget.
Give the Messiah some time. After he and Congress implement Euro work laws, employers will have to pay the laid off workers for 5 years, if you can even let them go. They will also be able to file appeals forever and collect pay and benefits. See Belgium, France, Sweden et al.
I plan to eliminate as many zero supporters from my purchasing habits as I can. They are attacking my way of earning a living. No more dems in my life.
My dh got that spiel at work. It was funny. Then they sent out this comical message to everyone:
As of Nov 5, 2008 when Pres Obama is officially elected into office, our company will instill a few new policies which are in keeping with his new, inspiring issues of change and fairness.
1. All salespeople will be pooling their sales bonuses into a common pool that will be divided equally between all of you. This will serve to give those of you who are underacheiving a “fair shake.”
2. All low level workers will be pooling their wages, including overtime, into a common pool dividing it equally amongst yourselves. This will help those who are “too busy for overtime” to reap the rewards from those who have more spare time and can work extra hours.
3. All top management will now be referred to as “the government.” We will not participate in this “pooling” experience because the law doesn’t apply to us.
4. The “government” will give eloquent speeaches to all employees every week, encouraging its workers to continue to work hard “for the good of all.”
5. The employees will be thrilled with these new policies because it’s “good to spread the wealth.” Those of you who have underachieved will finally get an opportunity; those of you who have worked hard and had success will feel more “patriotic.”
6. The last few people who were hired should clean their desks. Don’t feel bad though, because Pres Obama will give you free healthcare, free handouts, free oil for heating your home, free foodstamps, and he’ll let you stay in your home for as long as you want even if you can’t pay your mortgage. If you appeal directly to our democratic congress, you might even get a free flat screen TV and a coupon for free haircuts(shouldn’t all Americans be entitled to nice looking hair?)
If for any reason you are not happy with the new policies, you may want to rethink your vote on Nov 4th.
There's an old saying in socialist communist countries. It has to do with the workers (told where to live, work and play). When asked why their productivity is low, they respond "The government pretends to pay me so I pretend to work."
You are right. Joe the Plumber can get a gubmint job as a plumber, get higher pay, and quit doing any actual plumbing.
ah! excellent criterion by which one should choose those who are no longer viable as employees because of the circumstances that come from their voting choices; not only should the wealth be spread, but the onerous responsiblity of “social justice” which they vote for.
a wholly appropriate choice by a “rich” employer.
IMHO
Hahahahaha. The left wing-nuts took this seriously. Google it and look at the insane reaction;
How Obama’s tax hike will negatively effect his supporters ...Oct 28, 2008 ... I couldn’t find “JOOA Corp” in a quick google search. I’d like to avoid such a poorly run business headed by such an ignorant business owner ...

“I’d like to avoid such a poorly run business headed by such an ignorant business owner”
Hahahahahahhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. They REALLY don’t get it. This is what probably 200,000 small businesses will do!
Like to avoid it? Go make your own way in the world, stupid..
Nobody has forgotten;
the True Believers absolutely believe that it, whatever 'it' is that they espouse, will hit everyone but themselves.
That's why we always see "students" and "intellectuals", actors, lecturers, and billionaire liberals in the forefront - they're self defined as exempt from the consequences.
I hope business owner lay off the employees with Obama stickers first. After all, they volunteered for it.
Just heard Obama's stump pitch again, in and among all the usual preaching I could have sworn I heard "a chicken in every pot".
