If America was a corporation and Bush was the CEO
Edited on Fri Oct-22-04 12:56 PM by LondonReign2
Help me add to this list. It is aimed at some business savvy but Republican leaning work associates:

If America was a corporation and Bush was the CEO

Would this man still deserve to be running the show?

„X He is the first CEO to lose company jobs since 1929

„X He reduced the projected 10 year equity on company balance sheet by $8 TRILLION dollars

„X He raised pay significantly for executive management while forcing workers to take pay cuts

„X Our corporate stock price is down significantly during his tenure

„X The company was running at a profit when he took over, now it is running at a $600B annual loss

„X After vowing to provide for a robust worker training program, he seriously under budgeted for it

„X He engaged in a hostile takeover, claiming the competitor had technology that could literally kill our company. It turned out that the competitor had no such technology. This has cost the company workers $200B out of their pockets, and we are locked into supporting this acquisition for years to come. This also cost more than 1100 workers their lives, and counting.

„X After one foreign leader perpetrated sabotage on our corporation, resulting in the deaths of over 3,000 workers, the CEO vowed to catch the criminal. Six months later he lost interest, saying the murderer ¡§wasn¡¦t that important¡¨. He then tried to block the internal investigation into the security breach that allowed this incident.

1. America isn't a corporation?
I'm sorry, with all the corporate influence in D.C. as it is, I just assumed we were already incorporated.

2. He required for training for all new employees, but wouldn't fund it.
In reference to Every Child Left Behind.

5. He's not a CEO President, he's an MBA President.

It's like giving over control of the company to some guy in Marketing.
