CEO to Workers: You’ll Likely Be Fired If Obama Is Re-elected
CEO to Workers: You’ll Likely Be Fired If Obama Is Re-elected
‘If any new taxes are levied on me, or my company, as our current President plans, I will have no choice but to reduce the size of this company’
David Siegel, the owner of Westgate Resorts, sent a surprising email to his employees Monday.
It said that if President Barack Obama wins re-election and raises Siegel’s taxes, he will have to lay off workers and downsize his company — or even shut it down.
“If any new taxes are levied on me, or my company, as our current President plans, I will have no choice but to reduce the size of this company,” he wrote. “Rather than grow this company I will be forced to cut back. This means fewer jobs, less benefits and certainly less opportunity for everyone.”
In a version of Romney’s “47 percent” remarks, Siegel added that “people like me who made all the right decisions and invested in themselves are being forced to bail out all the people who didn’t. The people that overspent their paychecks suddenly feel entitled to the same luxuries that I earned and sacrificed 42 years of my life for.”
The points are ones that have often been made during this election. But what makes the letter surprising is the source.
David Siegel is the man who, together with his wife, Jackie, built the largest new house in America, known as “Versailles.” His story first appeared in my book, “The High-Beta Rich.” It then made it to the big screen with the documentary film “The Queen of Versailles.”

I know of two companies here in Sarasota that are saying this same thing. One has already begun to close several of their offices and letting 1/3 of their employees go for this vary reason. Some other businesses are putting their full time employees on part time so they do not have to pay insurance for them.
The only thing I wish would be that these employees tell their employees that is is due to Obama and his agenda.... THAT might help these morons to wake up that voted for Obama and think they can still have the same America they had before. Let them know in their face what their stupid vote for the Muslim Obama has cost our nation.

WOW, this guy summed it up exactly when he said this: "The people that overspent their paychecks suddenly feel entitled to the same luxuries that I earned and sacrificed 42 years of my life for".
He forgot to add that the people who didn't earn paychecks feel entitled to those luxuries too.
Obama and his henchmen have so fostered the class warfare strategy that it may actually take to the streets. Obama has effectively put a target on the backs of the men and women who create the jobs and wealth in this country.
