As it appears that Obama has won this election, following Fox News calling both Ohio and PA for him, I think it is now time for the businessmen and women who run this country to make it quite clear what the consequences are to those people who sold out their freedom for empty promises.
Small business owners, your taxes are now going to be raised. You now will face the difficult choice of either cutting your costs by laying people off, or by passing the increased costs of taxation on to your customers. This time I want you to take the time to tell that laid off employee exactly why he has lost his job. Tell him that the Obama tax increase has forced you to take his salary and give it to "the middle class". If he protests that he is part of the middle class, then explain that he should make good use of the $500 he sold his vote for, because it cost him his job.
For the manufacturers: When you move your production facilities overseas because the US has the second highest corporate income taxes in the world, make sure your workers understand that their Union is mostly to blame, and they should go talk to them about why it was a good idea to vote for the guy who would make all union votes public.
For your customers: Explain that the price of your product has gone up because of your taxes being increased, and because the rising price of oil from keeping the caribou happy has forced you to charge them more. Tell them you tried inflating your tires, but unfortunately it did not put any more gasoline in your tank.
Consumers: When you go shopping, and are considering buying a high ticket item, when you change your mind, make sure that they know that if you had only kep that extra 3% of your salary.... the "chump change", you could have bought their item.
In short: It is time for us all to become John Galt.
Make them understand that capitalism requires capital, and unfortunately Obama gave the capital you needed to somebody who was more deserving than them.
Ask them how it feels to be "rich".
Tell them that you are sure they will be OK, because Obama told them it would be so.
Ask them how they are enjoying their "Change", and if they have any more "Hope" for the future.
oh, stop being such a bitch. we are going to get through this just like we got through carter and clinton. Our time in the wilderness will make us stronger. We elected faux conservatives (like Bush) and now we are paying for it. Let them try to tax us and expand government programs. People will be pissed and they will fight back. We need to rebuild now, so we can kick butt in 2010 and 2012. Whinning will solve nothing.
Amen to that!!!!
Get rid of them! Let Obama pay their mortgages and for tires on their cars!

Please- do compile.
Just heard the story from my girlfriend who is down at McCain headquarters in Las Vegas.
Don’t hold your breath. Businessmen are realists, not revolutionaries. Buffet and Gates both came out for Obama and they’re just the spokesmen. Ayn Rand had an idealistic vision of what capitalists were but in the end they won’t upset the apple cart. Sorry to burst your illusion.
But if this is the new ObamaNation - here is my new set of "talking points":
Fire up, underlings. Obama wins, you are so happy. Well, chew on this. I just eliminated your health insurance at open enrollment. Your flex time is gone. Oh, and those bonuses based on production? Sorry, they are a thing of the past.
I hope you never approach me with one of your kids stupidass cookie dough sales or wrapping paper fundraisers again because the answer is a FLAT OUT NO.
And you won't be getting a raise. Instead, I've been interviewing people with your level of experience but half the damn entitlement mentality that you exhibit. Oh, and they also cost me less because they are willing to work for less.
Ejnoy the new reality, suckers! Signed, Your Boss.
GREAT post...
I would also like to know, does anyone here have a comprehensive list of which corporations supported Obama?...I’m already cancelling my subscriptions to the NY Post and St Petersburg Times down here in FL... Done with watching Fox news as well (except for Hannity)....
Now I’m just trying to make wiser decisions in terms of day-to-day purchases...I dont want one single cent of my money going to an Obama-enabling corporation if I can possibly avoid it!

Here, here.
Let’s starve the beast.
Think general strike. Our votes were devalued by ACORN and this election is illegitimate. A dictator has been anointed by the media elite. He is illegitimate by birth and by stolen election. If this election is a fraud we have no obligation to obey this regime.
This is what the poor folks do in South America when they try to dislodge a dictator. It is our only hope.
I have a great accountant, he tipped me last March and we sold everything, even the kid's college funds out of the market. I can't forsee needing any large purchase in the next 4 years, so I'm going to just sit tight. Hide & watch.
Then we will take her at her word as I don't doubt it.
Remember, Galt's Gulch was the month-long vacation destination. What the Shruggers did in daily life was dial back their creative labor to produce only enough for themselves, with no overage for the state to steal. Make yourself debt-free, including mortgage, then find a low-effort job like Hugh Akston, the university professor who became a short-order cook.
I think that we are dealing with some fairly ignorant people here (not you, the Obama voters), who simply think they are getting free money. I think that when dealing with stupid people, we should keep it in terms that they can understand: You punished me (the rich), so now I will be forced to punish you.
There are plenty of Libertarians who would already understand this concept. I think a socially conservative fund (like a green fund) would also be a good idea.
I’m not going to stop giving to military families and disabled vets, either. The rest of them can go visit The Messiah to get theirs.
But on that point, I would discourage anyone from enlisting. Obama will get them killed due to lack of equipment and overextension.
IMHO, banks are not the answer, since they'll all be nationalized and thus under the control of the fedguv (a.k.a., "O's Minions"). Banks signing onto the bailout and banks who want nothing to do with the bailout are going to be forced to be beholden to federal regulations that favor inner-city minorities (WASPs need not apply). They've already said they want to seize 401ks and pensions, and "the profits of Exxon Mobile belong to the people." Joe Biden has floated the idea of imposing a 50% tax on any money taken out of the country, and they're already trying to find out who has offshore accounts (according to a friend of mine with contacts in the banking industry). I'm wondering if we should cash out our savings accounts and stocks right now, in the next two months, and sink every dime we have in tangible goods: arms & ammo, food storage, gold & silver, cash, land -- anything non-paper that can't be seized electronically. Any thoughts?
Oh, and we all need to cancel our newspaper subscriptions, if any still have them. I'm canceling my Raleigh News & Disturber subscription in the morning!
