You wanted change, right?

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.


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.

That sounds perfectly legal.

Sigh.

Story makes a point. If the tax burden on corporations and businesses goes up what do you think will happen?? Will they just absorb the additional expense, or will they take steps to mitigate it?? A combination of increasing prices and job cuts seems the probable result to me.

Of course this has not happened yet...but it is part of "the plan". Maybe obama will wise up...he is already getting heat from the progressives for the high percentage of clinton retreads he is naming to his staff. Ya think all the hopenchange BS was just pandering for votes?? Al-Qaeda seems to think so...did you hear what they called our new president elect yesterday???

In a propaganda salvo on Wednesday, Osama bin Laden's senior deputy condemned Mr Obama as a "house Negro" doing the bidding of white masters.

Ayman al-Zawahiri called him "the direct opposite of honourable black Americans" such as Malcolm X. "It is true about you and people like you what Malcolm X said about the house Negros," he said in a video released on Wednesday, naming Colin Powell, the former US secretary of state, and, Condoleezza Rice, the incumbent, as others who fitted the description.

sigh....

i guess now that they have engaged in hate speech the progressives will be on board in an all out war against Al-Qaeda.

What tax burden? A burden of tax would entail an American actually being profitable to begin with.

Obama never said it would be a positive change, only change...
