Economy

Hello - I wanted to share this story I just read with the President in hopes he will take a second look at his decisions regarding taxes and the stimulas.

This is an actual letter from a small business owner in the Chicago area written to his employees.

To All My Valued Employees,

There have been some rumblings around the office about the future of this company, and more specifically, your job. As you know, the economy has changed for the worse and presents many challenges. However, the good news is this: The economy doesn't pose a threat to your job. What does threaten your job however, is the changing political landscape in this country.

However, let me tell you some little tidbits of fact which might help you decide what is in your best interest. First, while it is easy to spew rhetoric that casts employers against employees, you have to understand that for every business owner there is a back story. This back story is often neglected and overshadowed by what you see and hear. Sure, you see me park my Mercedes outside. You've seen my big home at last year's Christmas party. I'm sure; all these flashy icons of luxury conjure up some idealized thoughts about my life.

However, what you don't see is the back story.

I started this company 28 years ago. At that time, I lived in a 300 square foot studio apartment for 3 years. My entire apartment was converted into an office so I could put forth 100% effort into building a company, which by the way, would eventually employ you.

My diet consisted of Ramen Pride noodles because every dollar I spent went back into this company. I drove a rusty Toyota Corolla with a defective transmission. I didn't have time to date. Often times, I stayed home on weekends, while my friends went out drinking and partying. In fact, I was married to my business -- hard work, discipline, and sacrifice.

Meanwhile, my friends got jobs. They worked 40 hours a week and made a modest $50K a year and spent every dime they earned. They drove flashy cars and lived in expensive homes and wore fancy designer clothes. Instead of hitting the Nordstrom's for the latest hot fashion item, I was trolling through the Goodwill store extracting any clothing item that didn't look like it was birthed in the 70's. My friends refinanced their mortgages and

lived a life of luxury. I, however, did not. I put my time, my money, and my life into a business with a vision that eventually, some day, I too, will be able to afford these luxuries my friends supposedly had. So, while you physically arrive at the office at 9 am, mentally check in at about noon, and then leave at 5 pm, I don't. There is no "off" button for me. When you leave the office, you are done and you have a weekend all to yourself. I unfortunately do not have the freedom. I eat, and breathe this company every minute of the day. There is no rest. There is no weekend. There is no happy hour. Every day this business is attached to my hip like a 1 year old spec

No commentary on social structure

Nothing in this speech goes to fixing the broken down engine of the American Economy - Men.

Men are the backbone of production and construction in all westernised economies, there can be no disputing that, women run the service industries, end of story. In terms of value adding men do it, women sometimes do it, it is implicit in the jobs that either sex chooses to do.

Yet, men are the ones who get boned up the backside by the law,and women are the takers in the game with the government providing cops and lawyers to what is largely an undeserving group in the economy, the lesser productive sector.

This demoralises men, they see no reason to go to work, and when they are at work, they are not as productive as they could be because they know their efforts will be garnished, sequestered - never to be returned, this is not a good investment in Americas economic future - 50% of marriages break down, 70% of the filers are women, women receive the bulk of the assets in the split, the kids, the house, the car, the cash, the paid for childcare, and even alimony for women quite capable of paying their own way. This is done to your men through your divorce laws and violence against women [VAWA] laws. The law stupidly presumes to give troublemakers a reward for doing nothing, that is evident in the fact that 70% of women initiate / start / agitate for / begin / make happen the violence that then befalls them, and then, unable to match the opponent that they have chosen to combat - a man - they end up being 95% of the victims, when in reality the man is the end victim.. 95% of the time, and your economy is the next victim of this vile stupidity.

I am not saying that it is right for men to attack women, what I am saying is that it is wrong for your society to condone the initiation of violence by one party and *reward* this by locking up the bloke who was merely defending himself - remember - 70% of the time!! It is wrong to lock up a man and impugn him for the rest of his life on a whim of a woman, because she 'fears' him on some supposition of violence that she has started, he may be just bristling to warn her against proceeding with what ever dangerous behaviour she is engaging in, then hey presto - 911, poof!! man gone - how handy is that???

Your laws have to be ammended, they have to be re-cast in the light of the actual statistics involving violence. For example, the VAWA must be scrapped and a return to common law assault be effected, as it is set out in your constitution!! The law should be forced to recognise who the initiator of the violence is and punish that initiation, for without it no violence would exist.

Your divorce laws should be cast to give men the rewards for their troubles in working to provide for the family that they bought into existence, instead of them being relegated to a life of slavery to some flibittygibbit's tea party life style.

You need to give your men hope and rewards, then your economy will recover.

Obama - fix it!!

Obama uses FEAR to control Americans

I hear him compared to President Roosevelt, his plan being called the New, New Deal, etc.

Obama is NO Roosevelt!

Roosevelt's speeches were aimed at reducing American's fear of the future, while instilling the need for urgency.

Obama's speeches are aimed at increasing American's fear of the future with overdramitizations & using terms such as "irreversable" damage to our economy.

This speech clearly exemplifies the falsehood of Obama's desire to work in a bipartisan method for the betterment of the Economic Stimulus Bill. OBAMA'S reaching across the aisle breaks down to meeting with Republicans & then summarily dismissing their input!! Then when they don't support his plan wholely & completely & blindly, Obama resorts to insulting the Republicans he's supposed to be reaching out to.

The big bow

President Obama knew he was stepping into this deficit or maybe the then Senator was too busy watching himself on NBC to see the news on the growing deficit. Why did Senator Obama VOTE for the first bail-out if it was so bad? He was a sitting Senator who could have earned his Senator's pay by following the will of the majority of the 'regular' Americans and VOTED NO to the problem bail-out. To now say he got this deficit in a BIG BOW when he walked into the White House is just tooooooooo easy. I call a person, who had the opportunity as a Sitting Senator to do something about the deficit but DID NOTHING then crying about the BIG BOW, a coward. Where was that great leadership everyone speaks of NOW when the then SITTING SENATOR OBAMA DID NOTHING TO LEAD his peers. Don't even say Senator Obama was just a junior senator, because if a person is a leader it will show even when the person is the most junior in an organization. I know because I work with someone who is a true leader, not letting the fact he was new to the organization stop him in any way from fighting the good fight to victory against management. Too bad the then Senator Obama didn't have the courage to stand in front of his peers and say 'I disagree and I will not be part of something that is wrong.' If President Obama wants to lead this country, he needs to start taking responsibility for his own past inactions as a SITTING SENATOR.

President Obama's speech of Feb. 5, 2009

At last! We have a real leader,a real uniter and a real decider. And, we actually have an intelligent leader who isn't afraid to to speak to the American people without first knocking off a fifth of Jack Daniels. During less than a month in the White House, Mr. Obama has communicated with the Congress and the American people more times than that smirking slack-jawed moron who spent this nation into bankruptcy, did in 8 seemingly endless years. Thank God, that despicable, smirking scumbag is gone.........

Let's Think Big Right Now

Like big spending, big government, and big deficits? Is that what he meant?

And nice comment about Air Force One. "Hey, check out my ride these days!" That's acting Presidential? He's like a high school kid taking his first limo ride to the prom. Good grief!!
