Maybe this guy needs whacked. Come to think of it there are a lot of CEO's who need whacked. But who's going to dig all the holes? Lol

Doesn't matter. A private employee can be fired for anything or for nothing. In the few states that provide political protection, you will have to prove that you were fired for your political affiliation, which you are only going to prove if the employer keeps Reps and exclusively fires Dems.

Sunds like a disgusting unethical employer. I would look at working elsewhere if I were there.

There is nothing wrong with what he sent. He is very clear to the employees, if the economy continues the way it is, but he is taxed higher then he will have to reduce staff. Obviously he feels that Romney will not tax him the same way Obama will. He has no way of knowing who voted for who, so if he does lay off if Obama wins that it will be strategic and not based on who they voted for. He specifically tells them to vote for who they feel best represents their needs, I think many of you just want to bash a CEO because he is a CEO and are missing his basic message.

Actually this is legal. His corporation will benefit from Obama policies if they cut healthcare and just pay the penalty.

We understand his message perfectly, and we have no doubts about what kind of person he really is...

I think its wrong for school officials to humiliate and insult a girl who wore a Romney shirt to school, also.

Yep.

It's funny too. The same folks on this forum I pretty much predicted would defend his garbage did just that.

It's called FREE SPEECH folks, and it applies to everyone, whether you're on City Data or the CEO of a company. Wake up and smell the coffee. Obama is leading this country to a disaster. No, it's not all his fault and he had plenty of help from W and his wars and runaway spending. But Obama OWNS this economy now and things are going to get plenty worse if he is re-elected.
