Dear Fellow Business Owner:
As a business owner who currently employs about 1,600 people, we have resigned ourselves to the fact that Barack Obama will be our next president, and that our taxes and labor costs will need to go up in order to subsidize the Obama tax plan. To compensate for these increases, our analysis points to 10-12% fee increase to Customers. This indicates we will need to lay off about 170 of our employees.
This really bothered us as we believe we are family here and didn't know how to choose who will have to go. So, as a fair approach to all employees, we strolled thru the parking lot and found about 150 "Obama in 2008" bumper stickers on employee cars. We have decided these folks should be the first to be laid off since they believe redistribution of wealth will work for them.
We can't think of a more appropriate way to approach this new business challenge. If you have a better idea, please let me know.
Sincerely yours,
Management
