Amen...and...
CEO Robert E. Murray of Murray Energy, a coal company based in Ohio:
Dear Lord:
The American people have made their choice. They
have decided that America must change its course, away from the
principals of our Founders. And, away from the idea of individual
freedom and individual responsibility. Away from capitalism, economic
responsibility, and personal acceptance.
We are a Country in
favor of redistribution, national weakness and reduced standard of
living and lower and lower levels of personal freedom.
My regret, Lord, is that our young people, including those in my own
family, never will know what America was like or might have been. They
will pay the price in their reduced standard of living and, most
especially, reduced freedom.
The takers outvoted the producers.
In response to this, I have turned to my Bible and in II Peter, Chapter
1, verses 4-9 it says, "To faith we are to add goodness; to goodness,
knowledge; to knowledge, self control; to self control, perseverance; to
perseverance, godliness; to godliness, kindness; to brotherly kindness,
love."
Lord, please forgive me and anyone with me in Murray
Energy Corp. for the decisions that we are now forced to make to
preserve the very existence of any of the enterprises that you have
helped us build. We ask for your guidance in this drastic time with the
drastic decisions that will be made to have any hope of our survival as
an American business enterprise.
Amen.
"Then he fired 156 people."
