Jack Welch to Run for Commander-in-Chief

Jack Welch

Former General Electrics CEO, Jack Welch, has announced today he is entering the 2008 presidential elections as an independent candidate. Welch, who is widely thought of as the Grandfather of Sonsabitches and inspired such phrases as ‘Go fuck yourself, Jack”, has begun campaigning under his tax reform plan commonly referred to the “rank and shoot” plan.

Welch’s tax reform proposal is reminiscent of his GE days. His plan is simple: citizens whose taxable income is in the lowest 10 percent of the national average will be executed, likely by firing squad. Those in the top 20 percent will be rewarded.

When asked if he thought executing these taxpayers would be too extreme Welch touted the value of his plan and his well-publicized tenure at GE.

“Exiling them would only perpetuate a broken system,” Welch said. “When I was at GE, we didn’t just transfer a problem to a division in the South. You can’t slap them on the wrist either. People in the lowest 10 percent probably can’t afford government cheese much less a $2.3 million dollar fine. We need to make an example of them.”

“The best way to encourage personal performance is to dangle the fear of being systematically executed in front of their peers.”

Welch believes his new tax policy to be more along the lines of social reform then anything else. “Thinning the herd” will motivate Americans to earn more money, something Welch believes has been sorely lacking since the 1980s.

Rewards for those in the top 20 percent include all expense paid trips to the executions and weekends at Sandals resorts.

Welch plans to campaign in Manhattan, Orange County and West Palm Beach, adding, “Where’d ya think I’d campaign – Detroit?”

So far Welch has received the endorsements of several other Sonsabitches including Donald Trump, Donny Deutsch and Rupert Murdoch.
