The Obama Economy: Source Unknown

How Will Company's Deal With The Prospect Of The Obama Economy?

CEO's, company presidents and small business owners around the country are facing the difficult prospect of declining sales and increasing costs in the form of new taxes and government fees in addition to rising raw material costs. What do they do? Here is one potential solution:

A LETTER FROM THE BOSS......

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, and we will have to lay off six 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 lot and found six 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.

Oh yea, had they not voted for Obama, life would be great, raw material prices would be falling, there would be no taxes, Woooooo hoooooo. It would be a big ass party.

not.

If I ever had a boss that would make such a decision based on that pile of crap...It's better to be unemployed.
