Sounds fair enough.....

An email someone sent me today...

" Dear Fellow Business Owners

As a business owner who employs 30 people, I have resigned myself to
the fact that Barack Obama will 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 8-10%.

I will also have to lay off six 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 eight Obama bumper stickers on my employee's 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.


Sincerely
xxxxxxx "

    I'm no Obama fan, but arn't you jumping the gun a little, to take a persons job away without even seeing what happens.

    I know a tax increase like he is suggesting will put at least 2 of our newer folks out on the street, and put a couple of the guys behind desks out on the floor...

    Now I know it is BS! In real life you can say hello to a wrongful termination attorney who'll be representing all of the folks who got canned. This will be an easy class action suit and is the same as if the firing involved all jews (I guess I should use Muslims since this is Gun Broker), all blacks or all women at the same firm.
