LETTER FROM THE BOSS







Dear employee:

As the CEO of this organization, I have resigned myself to the fact that
Barrack Obama is our President and that our taxes and government fees
will increase in a BIG way. To compensate for these increases, our prices
would have to increase by about 10%. But since we cannot increase our prices
right now due to the dismal state of the economy, we will have to lay off
sixty of our employees instead. This has really been bothering me, since I
believe we are family here and I didn't know how to choose who would have
to go.

So, this is what I did. I walked through our parking lots and found
sixty 'Obama' bumper stickers on our employees' cars and have decided these
folks will be the ones to let go. I can't think of a more fair way to approach
this problem.. They voted for change, I gave it to them.

I will see the rest of you at the annual company picnic.

Amen... But as an owner of a small business I would have to let a family member go, wait, no Obama stickers over here... I guess we'll just have to work harder, a change some Americans will never grasp.
