their jobs. Unemployment is going to get much worse and the majority of people that I will let go will be from the Bush-bashing crowd that make up approx 15% of my employees. I go to lunch with approx. 10 other business owners once a month and we have all decided after much discussion to lay off this portion of the population first. Coming to this decision has not been easy and I will lose valuable people, but I would rather lay off people politically that I disagree with then someone I can relate to.

nothing like a business owner telling you how to think so you can still put food on the table.
Looks like the party of no, in the congress, is far more popular then "yes we can!" Who'd of thunk it with all the irrational rhetoric on this forum board? I have a strong guess as to whom might be indulged in all that...

A lawyer would have a hay day with that one. Hope you have the cash on the sidelines to deal with wrongful termination suits.

This is actually happening, more than anyone would think.
It is the price you pay, when you get what you ask for.
Let them get a taste of that free ride they voted for. How else will they ever learn.

I know well over 100 conservative/liberal business owners and I've never heard of such a thing. I believe the OP's story to be fodder for the message board. I think it's a made up scenario to validate personal feelings.
You don't have to let them know that.
The reason... the economy and my business can no longer afford you.
I fired you because your a lib and you voted against capitalism, is not going to come out of anyone's mouth..
Pettiness knows no bounds I suppose. I have friends, and have hired workers who were very conservative. I would never think to lash out at them, over my political (and personal) frustration. What kind of man would that make me?
I suppose if that's who you want to be though....

They are realizing now, just what group is being let go.
