Great!
I agree with some of his points, but I disagree with his conspicuous consumption and looking down at others not only in his company, but others who work hard and still pay huge taxes of every kind. Its not just business owners who pay huge percentages of their income in taxes. This man is likely not exposed to the true lower class. All he can see is the people who have less than he does that he looks down on. I know people with similar attitudes as he. Frankly, many are outright thieves.
Amen. I wonder if Obama has read this? I’ll bet not.
After 45 years of hard work & devotion he will have to close his store sometime this year. He unlike this person, worries about his employees who have worked for him over twenty years. They both are undereducated, married and have young children.Both were young (16) school dropouts but willing to work hard and learn the trade. He paid them well and rewarded them with a good bonus at the end of the year.
What he worries about is who will pay them as much as they have become accustom to? Any other business will only see them as grunts. They will not see their devotion, their ability to solve any problems they're confronted with on the job in a timely manner. Worst yet, is they have worked most of their lives in a business which is fading away.
Today most children would rather sit in a chair and play video games than pick up a cue stick and play a game of pool.
Actually, the actual rate of taxation for EVERYONE should have been mentioned: it’s effectively 70% at all levels combined. (I think the data originated with the John Locke Foundation; someone else can look it up.) This 70% includes both employers and employees, and all under a Republican administration (W can veto any spending bill that originates with the Democratic Congress, so it is inevitably his responsibility).
Over the last couple of weeks, I've recieved it a dozen times via email.
We'll, do like so many other business have done, and replace your employees with low wage illegal aliens, and what is left, out source to Communist China.
Profits regardless of consequences.
The guy was on a roll until the paragraph above. Insulting his employees like that and insinuating that they spend their mornings being unproductive is unlikely to have a positive effect.
I've been an employee all my working life, most of it in management. I manage the business so my higher-ups can enjoy their frequent vacations to Europe or the Carribean - or hit the golf course as they regularly do. Don't get me wrong, they are entitled to that and I bear no grudges. But they would not be able to do this without dedicated employees and managers under them.
I'm usually first in and last to leave and put a lot of time in (unpaid as I'm on salary) nights and weekends to do my job effectively and I'm far from the only employee to do that. If I ever got such a condescending letter from my CEO, I'd update my resume and find someplace to work where I am appreciated.
