The realities of business

Or, as one media source mis-portrays it,
“The CEO Who Built Himself America’s Largest House Just Threatened to Fire His Employees if Obama’s Elected”

Read the actual letter from David Siegel to his employees first.

Some never get it. The company and the jobs that go with it are his to dispose of as he sees fit. IT IS HIS! “IT IS MINE!” Hank Reardon. Their opinion of the man is of no consequence. They need to see the reality and suck it up. They would not allow someone to come into their living room and dictate that they give up some of their belongings. Life is unfair. Would they give up one of their legs to someone who had none so as to be fair? I think not! O.A.

  Right. Some people think a job is an individual right,like getting healthcare.

Yeah the headline isn't right. That has to be the most amazing thing I have ever read. Almost out of Hank Reardens mouth himself

  Was it just me or did he sound tired of defending himself. I can't believe the focus on the size of HIS house. They were practically salivating, or the lady in purple was anyway. I wished they had read the entire letter.

They just talked about David Siegel's letter on CNBC. Some people are outraged that his employees may lose their job but he would be just fine. Like he needs to be more altruistic and lose also.

Typical reaction regarding producers direct from the revolution in Petrograd.

I think the title was intentional. To attract liberals to read it out of shock......and then, to their surprise, read a lesson in reality. I love how he ended it too! :)
