Fellow Business Owners:

As a business owner who employs 120 people, we have resigned ourselves to the fact that Barack Obama may be our next President, and that our taxes and fees will go up in a BIG way.

To compensate for these increases, we figure that the Customer will have to see an increase in our fees to them of about 8-10%. We will also have to lay off 25 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, this is what we did.

We strolled thru the parking lot and found twenty Obama bumper stickers on our employees cars. We have decided these folks will be the first to be laid off.

We can't think of another fair way to approach this problem. If you have a better idea, let me know.

We our sending this letter to all business owners that we know.

Sincerely

Business Owner

I simply picked those who had done the most to piss me off over the years.

Same thing, really...
