“Bottom line? I’m not taking this hit alone. As soon as the Democrats manage to get their tax increases on the books, I’m going to take steps to make sure that my family isn’t affected. When you own the business, that is what you’re allowed to do. I built this business over a period of 23 years, and I’m not going to see my family suffer because we have a president and a congress who think that wealth is distributed rather than earned. Any additional taxes, of whatever description, that President Obama and the Democrats inflict on this business will come straight out of any funds I have set aside for expansion or pay and benefit increases. Any plans I might have had to hire additional employees for new stores will be put aside. Any plans for raises for the people I now have working for me will be shelved. Year-end bonuses might well be eliminated. That may sound rough, but that’s the reality.”
BUMP!
Every employer needs to have a meeting like this. I’m sending this to MY employer, owner of a private company in his family for 104 years. He is already mad as h3ll and isn’t going to take it anymore.
We’ll keep our jobs, but just barely. I think the last raise we just got WILL be our last raise for some time to come.
Thanks again, 0bama voters. And thanks AGAIN all those ‘conservatives’ that sat on their hands and let this happen. (Was it really that hard to have voted for Sarah?) ;)
I know...you were just delaying the inevitable...
Especially those that sat on their hands in the 2006 election and by doing so guaranteed the demonrat’s return to power
I don't think it was caused by anyone avoiding voting for Sarah. It was more likely caused by a combination of a reluctance to vote for McCain and the fraudulent ACORN votes.
