This is a great letter to Obama written by a guy who worked his way up from the bottom. I seriously doubt Obama or any other entitlement-driven Dem would take the time to read it and appreciate what the author has to say.

A man owned a small farm in Virginia. The Virginia State Wage & Hour Department claimed he was not paying proper wages to his help and sent an agent out to interview him. ‘I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them,’ demanded the agent.

‘Well,’ replied the farmer, ‘there's my farm hand who's been with me for 3 years. I pay him $200 a week plus free room and board. The cook has been here for 18 months, and I pay her $150 per week plus free room and board. Then there's the half-wit who works about 18 hours every day and does about 90% of all the work around here. He makes about $10 per week, pays his own room and board, and I buy him a bottle of bourbon every Saturday night. He also sleeps with my wife occasionally.’

‘That's the guy I want to talk to -— the half-wit,’ says the agent.

‘That would be me,’ replied the farmer.

No matter WHO is in the White House, but especially when it’s under Rat control, neither Husband or I will EVER hire anyone to work for us.

Why bother? Even with the advantages a small business brings to us, why would be share the wealth even more with Government?

And if Obama thinks I’m going to work harder for HIM to reach that $250K threshold so he can screw me over even more, he doesn’t know me very well, LOL!

Not gonna happen. Not on our watch.

Now why would you think that?

I'm certain one of the 0bamiacs will take it directly to his worship and read it to his highness.

As soon as it is explained to his holiness, the exalted one will immediately become a capitalist, shedding all his marxist communist ways and become a freedom loving conservative.

Cory the Well-Driller is a bitter clinger-bitterly clinging to the American way of life.

I wish he (Cory Miller) could read that letter on television.

Just wonderful! Mr. Miller makes more sense than most of what has been going on in this campaign. Obama is looking to crush businessmen like Mr. Miller, through taxes and intervention.

Left to his own abilities, Mr. Miller built the American Dream. What a beautiful story!

You have just summed up, very nicely, why socialism (the light side of Communism) will not work.

Didn’t George McGovern finally see the light when he started a business after failing to become president?

George McGovern wouldn’t see “the light” if his eyelids were sliced off and he was faced towards the sun.

Read “The Wild Blue” by Steven Ambrose and you will have a lot more respect for Mr. McGovern.

He may be delusional but he is a real American hero.

bump for later....an unbelievably cogent and well written piece. I could write much the same, but I’m not nearly so eloquent. I’d also be so mad by the end that I’d probably be cussing!
