An Ol' Broad's Ramblings
Spread The Wealth Around
Dear Fellow Business Owners
As a business owner who employs 30 people, I have resigned myself to the fact that Barack Obama wll 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 the Customer will have to see an increase in my fees to them of about 8%. I will also have to lay off 6 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 8 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 another 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.

Yay!! Thanks for the idea!!
Great idea Mr. Ol’ Broad. I’m all for it and and can’t think of a better way to choose a person to lay off. I take it you’re an open shop and not part of any thug union?
Sounds like a stroke of sheer genius to me…
Now that is the fairest most sensible idea I have heard to date… YOINK!
@Hillman, etal,
That was not my idea-it came from my pal Polly in WI. I was always self employed – no employees, no red tape. Now I’m retired
red
tape back then – it’s just gonna get worse.
@readers of last comment – it had more content. The spamfilter thingy is screwy:) Can anyone explain?
You are using “SpamFree” I have found that sometimes when your site is being accessed by more than one person spam free blocks one call to the DB… You must have been it.. Try it again.

I think I was on his desktop under his log in while he was on his laptop, under his log on. LOL
