    Funnay email my Mom forwarded to me...

    I received the letter below from a fellow businessman and good friend and I must agree with his decision on how to choose in a must lay off situation. Please join me in sending this off to every business owner that you know.




    Name taken off open letter....


    Subject: If you must lay off employees in 2009


    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 our customers will have to see an increase in my fees of about 8%. I will also have to lay off 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 thru 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 more fair way to approach this problem. If you have a better idea, let me know. I am sending this letter to all business owners that I know.

    I can't believe anyone thinks this is funny. Why not fire the ones who voted Republican. They had more to do with the messed up economy! Obama is not even in office yet!
    No matter what anyone does, someone some where will be offended some how!!!!

    Sure! Look at the shape of the country today and compare it to eight years ago.

    Ok, banks weren't failing like they are now, not so many forclosures on homes, unemployment not as bad, stock market stable, businessess were more stable, no war sucking the life out of our country or people, I was younger...

    There was an article in local paper about a small tire shop owner had
    decided to fly the American flag upsidedown outside his business as a
    show of disgust that Obama won the election. All his employees decided
    to quit their jobs if he didn't fly the flag correctly. The owner backed down
    and righted the flag. Owner said he was going on vacation & couldn't get
    a trained group to replace them.
