Wesh.com: Full Letter, CEO Westgate to Employees

I'm not going to post the letter, do you want to know why? This SOB used a similar letter that can be found on snopes.com as a template. The interesting thing to me is that I bet he could write the same letter about Romney... what if Romney raises taxes...?

[zoony]

You mean I'll get to go on vacation without having whatever high school dropout hack they just made an "account manager" not hassle me about buying a timeshare while I'm pumping gas? I'm all for these new taxes that will force him to lay people off.

And furthermore, is he prepared to state that if his profits increase that he will hire more workers?

[No Excuses]

Tough life he has. Cut his taxes.

[Prosperity]

His taxes are raised so he his response is to lay off profitable employees?

What a ****ing dumbass

[SteveFromYellowstone]

People like him have seen their wealth rise astronomically over the past 30 years and they haven't done **** for the little guy. There IS class warfare going on and the rich are winning. Is half of America really so idiotic as to agree with him?

[Destino]

Nothing is as compelling as rich men whining via a mad libs style extortion letter filled with well known GOP talking points.

[SteveFromYellowstone]

I don't understand, what the **** do these people have to complain about? They've had massive tax breaks and corporate profits have gone through the roof. The stock market has doubled since 2009. What else could they want? More tax break money to not spend on hiring?

Question: If the only thing keeping anyone from being a wealthy business owner or executive is really really hard work and lots of dedication then why aren't we a nation full of CEOs and successful millionaire business owners?

Answer: Because not everybody CAN be those things. There is space for a finite number of extremely wealthy people and not everyone can become a millionaire regardless of the choices they make or how hard they work. In fact in my experience many corporate executives are just as "dime a dozen" as entry level employees. Lots of them just managed to climb up a ladder and pull it up behind them. This is coming from someone whose father is a senior vice president at a major corporation. Hard work, determination, sacrifices are all part of the equation to being successful. They are also traits which one can possess and never make more than 50k per year. Why is it generally accepted that people who don't have much are stupid or lazy? Sure some are, and so are some wealthy people.

[twa]

Tough life he has. Cut his taxes.

It would tug at my heart strings if I had one.

Glad someone mentioned his not helping the little guy....I was getting misty and needed a laugh

It's not just tax breaks. It's ZERO taxes on capital gains, because **** you. It's shifting the income tax burden to the middle class. Privatize everything and use government to make its demand inelastic and as competition free as possible. Never mind the drum beat of deregulation allowing the financial sector to rape the world and plunge it into yet another crisis. Oh yeah and law suits... Limit those and scale back agencies that monitor damage down.

But uh... gays are going to talk to your kids and Muslims are going to sharia all over the place.

I wonder what Senator John Kerry does to help redistribute wealth.

Oh lord...

[Prosperity]

this might be a form of voter intimidation, "vote for who I want you to vote for or I am going to fire you"

might be worthwhile for the feds to investigate him

[Destino]

I wonder what Senator John Kerry does to help redistribute wealth.

He hands out the suitcases full of confiscated government money at the unemployment center while encouraging people to take it easy and not rush into things.

Also, I noticed he looks a little like an old timey Frankenstein monster while Romney looks like an old timey vampire. Coincidence?
