Dear Customers and Suppliers:
As the CFO of a business that employees 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 our customers will have to see an increase in our prices of about 8%. However, since we cannot increase prices 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 walked thru our parking lot and found 6 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.

Hell, they already got “CHANGE.” Remember in ’06 when dim-0s were running for control of congress promising “CHANGE?” Well, they won, and things have certainly “CHANGED.” At that time, unemployment was 4.4%, that has now “CHANGED” to 9.7% Economic growth was rolling along at over 4%, that “CHANGED” to negative growth. The DOW was about 13000, that has “CHANGED” to about 9500.
