The rule for talking to business people is always: sell your idea in terms of profit. In this case, how much money do you make off of customers using IE6, and how much money does it cost you to support IE6? In many cases you're losing money by supporting IE6. In other cases, you are making money, but if you forced your user base to switch to IE7+ or a real browser, some of your users would leave but enough would stay that you would be making more money. And in some cases, you can complain about it, but the best decision is to still support IE6 because it's still the most profitable course.
