The guy who wants jetliners with windows that can be opened to prevent faintness by his wife Ann … spoke to the Small Bussiness owners and talked policy when he enters the White House in January 2013. [God forbid!]
Executive orders on day one:
Stop all EPA regulations
Stop Obamacare by granting states waiver to opt out.
Legislative action to stop future regulation that endangers jobs
Undo every bit of legislation Obama has done to harm free enterprise and the profit making business in America. [… look at the charts of Wall Street since January 2009]
Romney Told Bosses to Tell Their Employees Whom to Vote For – June 6, 2012
ROMNEY: “I hope you make it very clear to your employees what you believe is in your best interest for your enterprise and therefore to their job and future in the upcoming elections. Whether you agree with me or with President Obama or whatever your political view, I hope .. I hope you pass that along to your employees .. nothing illegal about you talking to your employees about what you believe is best for your business. Because I think that will figure in to their election decision.”
(Atlantic Wire) – Okay, Mitt. You’re right. It’s not technically illegal for employers to tell their employees how to vote. That doesn’t mean that it’s ethical or understandable or even acceptable to connect people’s livelihoods with their political beliefs. There’s a fine line between an employer telling an employee, “Vote Romney!” and a boss telling a subordinate, “Vote Romney, or else!” At least, in the eyes of the inevitably subordinate employees there’s not.
This hierarchical method of political persuasion is turning into a bit of a trend for Republicans this year. Just a couple of days ago, we learned that the Koch Brothers sent their employees a list of people to vote for, or else they could “suffer the consequences.” That was just a few days after billionaire CEO Arthur Allen of ASG Software Solutions told his employees that he didn’t “want to hear any complaints regarding the fallout that will most likely come” if they voted Obama back into office. And a few days before that the CEO of Westgate Resorts and the owner of the largest house in America [“Queen of Versailles”] similarly said that he would “have no choice but to reduce the size of this company” if Obama won. “Whose policies will endanger your job?” he asked his employees.
