I wonder how much "CHANGE" we can take?!?

Question

Received this email, which I LIKE, however, is this what we are to expect???

"Fellow Business Executives: 
 
As the CFO of this business that employs 140 people, I have resigned myself to the fact that Barrack Obama will be our next President, and that our taxes and government fees will increase in a BIG way. (obviously this was produced BEFORE November 4th.)
 
To compensate for these increases, I figure that the Clients will have to see an increase in our fees to them of about 8% but since we cannot increase our fees right now due to the dismal state of our economy, we will have to lay off six of our employees instead. This has really been eating at me for a while, as we believe we are family here and I didn't know how to choose who will have to go. 

 So, this is what I did. I strolled thru our parking lot and found 8 Obama bumper stickers on our employees' cars and have decided these folks will be the first to be laid off. I can't think of a more fair way to approach this problem. These folks wanted change; I gave it to them. 
 
If you have a better idea, let me know."

hahahahahaha!!  I don't know which I liked better, the story or the angry and ignorant responses you got from the Obama supporters.

I almost wish I owned a business so I could do the same, but I've decided not to start the business I was planning, because Obama will make it too difficult for me, so that means I won't be able to hire the 11 people I would need the first year, plus the 9 additional people that would be required in year two.

So, that means that Obama is responsible for another 20 people not having jobs.

I have seen that story before and would like to think it's true.  It would be if I still owned by business from several years ago.  I can't help but wish ill for those who voted ill for me.

Wow, this is good.,  Yes indeed, those who blindly supported Obama will pay the price of their choice, and it will not be a good price......they will be in the same boat, suffering along with all the rest of us.

Great minds think alike. Its what I would've done. No it would not seem fair to those Obama supporters, but as they say don't blame me if you voted for the wrong guy.

I like your idea - very clever.

You could also give all employees who have Obama bumper stickers a raise and then force them to share their raises with everyone else.

First:  the person who wrote that is a total douche bag.  Second:  You can bet he does not run a successful company.  Third:  Any employer who does not consider their employees their greatest asset is an employer destined for failure.
