If only life as a small business owner were this simple

[PHILIP SCHNEIDER]

THE BEST EVER LAYOFF LETTER. No wonder this guy is the boss, he is sharp! You can 't be any fairer than this guy.

Dear Employees:

As the CEO of this organization, I have resigned myself to the fact that Barack Obama is our President and that our taxes and government fees will increase in a BIG way. To compensate for these increases, our prices would have to increase by about 10%. But, since we cannot increase our prices right now due to the dismal state of the economy, we will have to lay off sixty of our employees instead.

This has really been bothering me since I believe we are family here and I didn't know how to choose who would have to go. So, this is what I did. I walked through our parking lots and found sixty 'Obama' bumper stickers on our employees' cars and have decided these folks will be the ones to let go. I can 't think of a more fair way to approach this problem. They voted for change. I gave it to them. I will see the rest of you at the annual company picnic.
