Notice to All Employees:


As of November 5, 2008, when President Obama is officially elected
into office, our company will instill a few new policies which are in
keeping with his new, inspiring issues of change and fairness:


1. All salespeople will be pooling their sales bonuses into a common
pool that will be divided equally between all of you. This will serve
to give those of you who are under achieving a "fair shake."


2. All low level workers will be pooling their wages, including
overtime, into a common pool, dividing it equally amongst yourselves.
This will help those who are "too busy for overtime" to reap the
rewards from those who have more spare time and can work extra hours.


3. All top management will now be referred to as "the government." We
will not participate in this "pooling" experience because the law
doesn't apply to us.


4. The "government" will give eloquent speeches to all employees every
week, encouraging its workers to continue to work hard "for the good
of all."


5. The employees will be thrilled with these new policies because it's
"good to spread the wealth." Those of you who have underachieved will
finally get an opportunity; those of you who have worked hard and had
success will feel more "patriotic."


6. The last few people who were hired should clean out their desks.
Don't feel bad though, because President Obama will give you free
healthcare, free handouts, free oil for heating your home, free food
stamps, and he'll let you stay in your home for as long as you want
even if you can't pay your mortgage. If you appeal directly to our
democratic congress, you might even get a free flat screen TV and a
coupon for free haircuts (shouldn't all Americans be entitled to nice
looking hair?)!!!

It sounds like promoting "every man, woman and child for himself"

Good for that, watch the country continue to crumble below the feet of the super-wealthy.

A United States is only as strong as the weaker links and eventually it will catch up with the rest of the super-rich, oh wait, it has!

Oh well at least Donald Trump will be happy, along with a few thousand McCain supporters.

Yeah, I'm pretty much nerveless this morning. laugh

Tomorrow morning I'm going into the pre-1840 woods with a novice and I've already gotten myself into the mindset of having to look out for someone who should be able to look out for himself.
(Difference is that at least "Une Carabine" is willing and ready to learn to take care of himself.thumbs up)

Funny, I don't recall ever saying I was for McCain/Palin.confused

But while we're tossing things out there:

Obama-Biden - Great for tax coffers, a disaster for individual rights.

Mornin' Don handshake

Conversely, I saw recently that over 2900 companies enacted what is referred to as "mass layoffs." Mass being defined by terminating 50 or more employees. I think they also stated this is a record of sorts. Is this to say things are better now than they would be?
