TerriDoodle 6 Posted October 24, 2008 Notice to All Employees As of November 5, 2008, when President Obama is officially elected into office, our company will instill a few new policies which are in keeping with his new, inspiring issues of change and fairness: 1. All salespeople will be pooling their sales and bonuses into a common pool that will be divided equally between all of you. This will serve to give those of you who are underachieving a “fair shake.” 2. All low level workers will be pooling their wages, including overtime , into a common pool, dividing it equally amongst yourselves. This will help those who are “too busy for overtime” to reap the rewards from those who have more spare time and can work extra hours. 3. All top management will now be referred to as “the government.” We will not participate in this “pooling” experience because the law doesn't apply to us. 4. The “government” will give eloquent speeches to all employees every week, encouraging it's workers to continue to work hard “for the good of all.” 5. The employees will be thrilled with these new policies because it's “good to spread the wealth.” Those of you who have underachieved will finally get an opportunity; those of you who have worked hard and had success will feel more “patriotic.” 6. The last few people who were hired should clean out their desks. Don't feel bad, though, because President Obama will give you free healthcare, free handouts, free oil for heating your home, free foodstamps, and he'll let you stay in your home for as long as you want even if you can't pay your mortgage. If you appeal directly to our democratic congress, you might even get a free flatscreen TV and a coupon for free haircuts (shouldn't all Americans be entitled to nice looking hair?) !!! If for any reason you are not happy with the new policies, you may want to rethink your vote on November 4th. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Donna113 2 Posted October 24, 2008 pfffffft. That's all just pfffffffft. Congrats Terri, this is one of the few times I've seen a conservative leave a liberal speechless. RSG, even though we disagree on political issues, I still think you're cool and sweet. luv ya! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ReadySteadyGo 8 Posted October 24, 2008 Not speechless, never speechless, I talk in my sleep. I'm just tired and ready to vote, debate at this point is just the same things being said over and over and over and over and over and over. I guess we will see how everyone's theories work out then huh? I hope it all turns out well no matter who gets elected. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

droppindown 0 Posted October 30, 2008 Utter Sophmoric BS! Redistribution of TAXES to allow everyone the same advantages currently used by the upper 18% of the tax bracket is not the same as taking everyones money and putting it in a pool. If you really feel as you imply in your childish little allegory, You may want to look closer at Palin and what she has done in Alaska, and I quote; "We're set up, unlike other states in the union, where it's collectively Alaskans own the resources. So we share in the wealth when the development of these resources occurs." -Gov. Sarah Palin:thumbdown: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daisalana 33 Posted October 30, 2008 Hah I like it Terry. This morning some guy was arguing on the radio show that he's voting for Obama because he upholds the TRUE sabbath day (Saturday vs. Sunday). He never had a come back for the abortion & marriage issues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They get up off their lazy behinds and work hard for it like they're supposed to. Nobody is entitled to anything beyond what they put into it. You used the word yourself: REDISTRIBUTION. If it's taxes, it's MY money. If you want to give yours to the slackers, be my guest. I, on the other hand, work my ass off for my money and choose to use it for myself as I see fit.

droppindown 0 Posted October 31, 2008 No one is taking YOUR money, just trying to get the tax burden fair for everyone. I am a small business owner and mother and I work my ass off as well. I do not wish to give away my money any more than you do, however I also recognize the need to pay taxes in order to support my country and fellow Americans. Investing in our country is a short term sacrifice for a long term goal. At the moment, our beautiful country is in the crapper and needs our support. I am a republican, but do not like the name-calling lying path that our current party has been on for too long. It is time to shape up our party and stop behaving like bullies on the playground who cannot accept any responsibilities for our bad behaviors aka BUSH CHENEY RUMSFELD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am a republican, but do not like the name-calling lying path that our current party has been on for too long. It is time to shape up our party and stop behaving like bullies on the playground who cannot accept any responsibilities for our bad behaviors aka BUSH CHENEY RUMSFELD First and foremost, if you are a republican (as I consider myself), we HAVE no party. I can only speak for myself when I say that nobody has represented me in a very long time. The closest they have come is Sarah Palin, but sadly she's only running second fiddle. And it IS my money. If they are taking it from me to pool with money from others to pay to study the mating habits of bottle-nosed gnats, they are wasting MY money. If it's not my money, then they don't NEED my money. Let ME keep it and use it as I see fit. As for supporting my fellow American, I am not obligated to do any such thing. I have no problem with supporting those who truly NEED. The problem, however, is that need has expanded very much like our own stomachs have, becoming something so overbloated and grotesque as to not even be recognizable anymore. I am not my brother's keeper unless I choose to be. The way I take that comment of yours indicates socialism, unless I am missing something. Too many people are crying "poor mouth," and our greedy government is all too willing to label them as such in order to get them on the government teat. I am numb towards my duty anymore. I have a government that squanders MY money (and I will cry MY money until I die or the cows come home because it IS my money), and I have lowlifes who believe that if I make even a dollar more than they do, I must split it with them. I owe them NOTHING. I am a huge believer in personal responsibility. Barring very few circumstances, if you buy more than you can afford, too bad, so sad. I will NOT bail you out. If you sign on for a mortgage for twice the house you can really afford, too bad, so sad, sucks to be you. I will NOT bail you out. I am a responsible citizen, and I get crapped on everywhere I turn, bailing out this lowlife and that lowlife who wasn't responsible or was simply downright greedy. What about those of us who do the RIGHT thing? We constantly get punished for that and nobody gives a crap -- they just demand more of MY money. I say no more.

droppindown 0 Posted October 31, 2008 Palin, wow, no need to say more. Good luck if she wins. we will have to agree to disagree. No hard feelings, variety is what makes our country strong and keeps it balanced to some degree. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
