Anybody else remember those words?.....When I was a little boy….my brother and I would get into fights in the back seat of the car and my Dad would say those very words. That was the sentence that would put an end to all bickering, fighting and nonsense that might be going on. Why?..... Because he meant it….He actually would stop the car and spank us right there on the side of the road if we didn’t do what he said……(Ahhhhhh…..good times….)
Now that I’m older…..I really want to make that same statement. Not to my son….but rather to the members of Congress. “If you don’t straighten up…..and stop with the ignorance and stupidity….I will stop this car….”
The following is your warning….(my Dad always gave us a warning)
Dear Congressperson (fill in your own name in the blank)….,
It seems that you have forgotten exactly what it is that I hired you to do. You also seem to have forgotten that YOU work for ME…and not the other way around. You also don’t seem to understand that I am not some idiot, who needs the likes of you, to make decisions on things that YOU think that I am too stupid to understand. You need to do what you are told to do……If you don’t think that you can do that…then maybe I should give you the opportunity to find work elsewhere. Let’s put this into perspective…..I have successfully run businesses for years…Have you ever even ran a snow-cone stand? For that matter….have you ever even held a job where your salary wasn’t paid for by the taxpayers? While we’re on that subject…..REAL executive jobs require a person to be successful in the execution of their particular position….and in addition….assure that the company (that they work for, or own) remains profitable. In the REAL world….that is a requirement in order for you not to be fired…...While it’s very bad for me…..it’s a good thing for you, that your job doesn’t have the same requirements. That’s because you and your buddies have almost bankrupted the company that you were hired to work for…(that would be the United States of America). I am sick of your lack of concern for the company that you work for….and I am sick of you acting like you’re the boss….listen closely…”YOU ARE AN EMPLOYEE….GOT IT?”….
You will have an opportunity…..over the next few days……to do the right thing on this health care bill. You really need to get this one right….if you want to continue to work here. Since you obviously don’t have the proper training for making a decision such as this….let me help you. Unless you are going to pay for this plan out of your own personal money…then don’t vote for it. I will not allow you to saddle my son and his kids and their kids with the kind of debt that will come about from this bill. Don’t lie to me about not increasing the deficit with this ridiculous idea (that includes you…employee number 44….I think your last name is…Obama…or something like that….) You cannot spend a TRILLION dollars and NOT increase the deficit. That’s just stupid. And don’t try to tell me that you’re going to save money by cutting costs somewhere else….(again…lean forward and read carefully)…”IT WONT HAPPEN”…Why do I say that?....because it NEVER does. You cannot add thousands of new government employees to work in these programs that have been laid out in this bill…AND…cut costs. Ask yourself…(and for once be honest)…has there ever been anything that the government did that was cost efficient?...(that’s a rhetorical question) You do not know how to be frugal. Understand that the money that you are talking about spending….(you know that TRILLION dollars) is not your money. In order for that money to be there…it has to TAKEN from someone like me….and that is NOT acceptable. While we’re having this little chat between boss (me) and employee (you)…..it has come to my attention that some of your buddies are not paying their OWN taxes…and yet they want to increase taxes on those of us who actually get up and go to work every day. So…the next time that you are in the break room with Charlie Rangel….tell him that I will fire him so fast it will make his head spin, if he doesn’t straighten up. I simply will not tolerate employees stealing from the company. So let’s be clear on this…..you can consider this a final written warning that will go into your employee personnel file. If we have to have this talk again…you will be terminated. So...I will leave you with these parting words, Congressperson (fill in the blank)….”straighten up and stop with the ignorance and stupidity….or I will stop this car…..and you will be sorry”.
Well, that’s the way that I think those in Washington…who work for us….should be handled….. Then Again….That’s Just Me
