But that's too h-a-r-d (imagine that said in the most whiney voice possible). Playing the fake "victim" card is so much easier.

And those people can now eat because someone had an idea that worked and employees people. Tomorrow, I expect you to go into your owner's office and tell him how you really feel about him giving you a job. You can look forward to a lot more CD time...

And the people that buy those products wouldn't have them without that CEO and his idea/ideas.

THANK YOU for paying me a decent salary. Decent? What are you smoking?

THANK YOU for providing me and my family with generous health benefits. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAAHA!!!!!!!! WHAT health benefits?!?!

THANK YOU for paying exorbitant taxes so me and my family can collect government benefits and services we neither need nor deserve.

Yes, because all of us are on govt. services. Thank you SO much massa, we sho' nuff does 'preciate it! Anything else we's can gets fo' you Massa? PUH-LEASE!
THANK YOU for not laying me off despite the terrible economy. And without workers you would be??? Broke?

THANK YOU for letting me work 40 hours/week and have nights/weekends off.

Again.....BWAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA! I work shift work. There's no such thing on a regular basis of a night off, much less weekends.

THANK YOU for working while I'm playing. Oh brother...Ive seen what executives call 'working'. Golf doesnt count.

THANK YOU for accepting smaller profits rather than laying me off.
Heaven forbid you profit less....
THANK YOU for giving me paid vacation days.

ZOMG now this is a hoot!

THANK YOU for paying money towards my retirement benefits.

^ Also a hoot.

THANK YOU for buying expensive goods and services, ensuring I still have a job.
I believe I would thank my customers this...not my boss.
See how it works? Instead of beating people over the head who make $250,000+ a year and calling them greedy for not wanting to part with more of their income.
How about arrogant?

This has got to be the most pathetic post I've ever seen. Thank you all the rich robber baron families like the Rockefellers who plundered, pillaged, and otherwise stole from people already living on this land. I mean where the hell do you think capital comes from? You think it grows on trees? It comes from NATURE i.e. NATURAL RESOURCES! No one person owns the natural resources from mother earth. Hence no rich person is self made considering at one time or another way down the ladder of history it took natural resources to build capital.

If you're a caveman living in the dawn of time.......what did you do? Go out and pick capital off the trees? No you worked at hunting, at fighting other cavemen for resources, you took what you needed and what you wanted to survive. Do you suggest we rise up and steal from the rich caveman style? After all that's how most wealth was created in centuries past. It was stolen from others. I guarantee you I could probably beat the snot out of the rich guys I know and steal all their wealth. Most are pansies. LMAO! What is with this OPer? Every other post he's paying lip service to the rich.

I would like to believe this person is just trolling for sh*ts and giggles, but no, I fear that we're dealing with the real thing here. This is a real and disturbing contingent of our society.

what jobs??? there aren't any jobs!!!!
you're supporting those that are offering them to have slaves that should be indebted to them.. which is ridiculous.. employer/employee is a mutual thing.. both benefit the other.. it's not about.. "HA! you owe me for giving you a job" it's about.. "thank-you for giving me a job and thank YOU for doing the job and doing it well!

don't misunderstand my position...
everyone knows what it's like to have a terrible job or work for someone that's terrible.. they destroy themselves and their business eventually..
You can have the best product in the world, but stand for terrible principles and a consumer boycott of your product will ruin you.. there is a mutual respect that is in order.. the OP made it one sided.. and it so isn't.
If you think you can get away with it.. go right ahead and we'll see just how sucessful YOU end up.. even if you have the best idea in the world.. you'll fall flat on your face..

if you have any real world experience in running a business, and employing people you would know this..
