Fellow Business Executives: As the CFO of this business that employees 140 people

Fellow Business Executives:



As the CFO of this business that employees 140 people, I have resigned myself to the fact that with Barack Obama as our next President, our taxes and government fees will increase in a BIG way. To compensate for these increases, I figure that the Clients will have to see an increase in our fees to them of about 8%; but since we cannot increase our fees right now due to the dismal state of our economy, we will have to lay off six of our employees instead.

This has really been eating at me for a while, as we believe we are family here and I didn?t know how to choose who will have to go. So, this is what I did. I strolled thru our parking lot and found 8 Obama bumper stickers on our employees? cars and have decided these folks will be the first to be laid off.

I can?t think of a more fair way to approach this problem. These folks wanted change; I gave it to them.

If you have a better idea, let me know.

Allah or Jesus? Interesting post

Allah or Jesus? By Rick Mathes

The Muslim religion in the fastest growing religion per
capita in the United States , especially in the minority
races!!!

Last month I attended my annual training session
that's required for maintaining my state prison
security clearan ce. During the training session there was
a presentation by three speakers representing the Roman
Catholic, Protestant and Muslim faiths, who explained each
of their beliefs.

I was particularly interested in what the Islamic Imam
had to say. The Man gave a great presentation of the basics
of Islam, complete with a video. After the presentations,
time was provided for questions and answers.

When it was my turn, I directed my question to the Imam
and asked: "Please, correct me if I'm wrong but I
understand that most Islmams and clerics of Islam have
declared a holy jihad [Holy war] against the infidels of
the world and, that by killing an infidel, (which is a
command to all Muslims) they are assured of a place in
heaven.

If that's the case, can you give me the definition of
an infidel?" There was no disagreement with my
statements and, without hesitation, he replied,
"Non-believers!"

I responded, "So, let me make sure I have this
straight. All followers of Allah have been commanded to
kill everyone who is not of your faith so th ey can have a
place in Heaven. Is that correct?"

The expression on his face changed from one of authority
and command to that of "a little boy who had just been
caught with his hand in the cookie jar."
He sheepishly replied, "Yes."

I then stated, "Well, sir, I have a real problem
trying to imagine Pope
John Paul commanding all Catholics to kill those of your
faith or Dr.
Stanley ordering all Protestants to do the same in order
to guarantee them
a place in Heaven. The Imam was speechless.

I continued, "I also have problem with being your
'friend' when you and
your brother clerics are telling your followers to kill
me! Let me ask you
a question. Woul d you rather have your Allah, who tells
you to kill me in
order for you to go to Heaven, or my Jesus who tells me
to love you because
I am going to Heaven and He wants you to be there with
me?"

You c ould have heard a pin drop as the Imam hung his
head in shame.
Needless to say, the organizers and/or promoters of the
'Diversification'
training seminar were not happy with Rick's way of
dealing with the Islamic
Imam and exposing the truth about the Muslims'
beliefs.

In twenty years there will be enough Muslim voters in the
U.S. To elect the
President!

I think everyone in the US should be required to read
this but with the
liberal justice system, liberal media, and the ACLU,
there is no way this
will be widely publicized.

Please pass this on to all your e-mail contacts. This is
a true story and
the author, Rick Mathes, is a well known leader in prison
ministry.

Mortgage Backed Securities are like Boxes of Chocolates?

Mortgage Backed Securities are like boxes of chocolates.

Criminals on Wall Street stole a few chocolates from the boxes and replaced them with turds. Their criminal buddies at Standard & Poor rated these boxes AAA Investment Grade chocolates. These boxes were then sold all over the world to investors. Eventually somebody bites into a turd and discovers the crime. Suddenly nobody trusts American chocolates anymore worldwide.

Hank Paulson now wants the American taxpayers to buy up and hold all these boxes of turd-infested chocolates for $700 billion dollars until the market for turds returns to normal. Meanwhile, Hank's buddies, the Wall Street criminals who stole all the good chocolates, are not being investigated, arrested, or indicted.

Mama always said, 'Sniff the chocolates first, Forrest.'
Quote of the day from a fund manager:

"This is worse than a divorce... I've lost half of my net worth and I still have my wife.."
The bailout, a different perspective

Back in 1990, the Government seized the Mustang Ranch brothel in Nevada for tax evasion and, as required by law, tried to run it. They failed and it closed. Now we are trusting the economy of our country to a pack of nit-wits who couldn't make money running a whore house and selling booze?

Joe The Plumber in the future

Joe The Plumber in the future





FROM THE FUTURE (a story about)


"JOE THE PLUMBER"



Barrack Obama discovers a leak under his sink, so he calls Joe the Plumber to come and fix it. Joe drives to Obama’s house, which is located in a very nice neighborhood where it’s obvious that all the residents make well over $250,000 per year. Joe arrives and takes his tools into the house. Joe is led to the room that contains the leaky pipe under a sink. Joe assesses the problem and tells Obama, who is standing near the door, that it’s an easy repair that will take less than 10 minutes.


Obama asks Joe how much it will cost. Joe immediately says, “$9,500.”


“$9,500?” Obama asks, stunned. “But you said it’s an easy repair!”


“Yes, but what I do is charge a lot more to my clients who make more than $250,000 per year so I can fix the plumbing of everybody who makes less than that for free,” explains Joe. “It’s always been my philosophy. As a matter of fact, I lobbied government to pass this philosophy as law, and it did pass earlier this year, so now all plumbers have to do business this way. It’s known as ‘Joe’s Fair Plumbing Act of 2008.’ Surprised you haven’t heard of it, senator.”


In spite of that, Obama tells Joe there’s no way he’s paying that much for a small plumbing repair, so Joe leaves. Obama spends the next hour flipping through the phone book looking for another plumber, but he finds that all other plumbing businesses listed have gone out of business. Not wanting to pay Joe’s price, Obama does nothing. The
leak under Obama’s sink goes without repair for the next several days. A week later the leak is so bad that Obama has had to put a bucket under the sink. The bucket fills up quickly and has to be emptied every hour, and there’s a risk that the room will flood, so Obama calls Joe and pleads with him to return. Joe goes back to Obama’s house, looks at the leaky pipe, and says “Let’s see – this will cost you about $21,000.”


“A few days ago you told me it would cost $9,500!” Obama quickly fires back.


Joe explains the reason for the dramatic increase. “Well, because of the ‘Joe’s Fair Plumbing Act,’ a lot of rich people are learning how to fix their own plumbing, so there are
fewer of you paying for all the free plumbing I’m doing for the people who make less than $250,000. As a result, the rate I have to charge my wealthy paying customers rises every day. “Not only that, but for some reason the demand for plumbing work from the group of people who get it for free has skyrocketed, and there’s a long waiting list of those who need repairs. This has put a lot of my fellow plumbers out of business, and they’re not being replaced – nobody is going into the plumbing business because they know they won’t make any money. I’m hurting now too – all thanks to greedy rich people like you who won’t pay their fair share.”


Obama tries to straighten out the plumber: “Of course you’re hurting, Joe! Don’t you get it? If all the rich people learn how to fix their own plumbing and you refuse to charge the poorer people for your services, you’ll be broke, and then what will you do?”


Joe immediately replies, “Run for president, I guess."

Republican John McCain concedes the presidential race to Barack Obama

PHOENIX – Republican John McCain concedes the presidential race to Barack Obama, saying the Democrat has achieved a "great thing" for himself and the country with his historic victory.

McCain — with wife Cindy on one side and running-mate Sarah Palin on the other — urged his supporters to put aside partisan differences and work to get "the country moving again."

Speaking from outside the Arizona Biltmore Hotel in Phoenix, McCain told his supporters: "It's natural tonight to feel some disappointment. Though we fell short, the failure is mine, not yours."

If you ask me neither one of these two presidential candidates are up to the challenge of running this country! "politicians" is all they are ,its a sad day today.......we keep believing all the bull sh*t
