Plutocrats Using Extortion to Elect Romney

A pattern seems to have developed in the world of high-rolling far-right plutocrats: extorting their employees to vote for fellow plutocrat and outsourcing pioneer Willard "I Like Firing People" Romney. The threats of job loss if President Obama is reelected are coming from the likes of the Koch Brothers (owners of Wisconsin's Governor), David Siegel (owner of Westgate Resorts and would-be Louis XIV), and Arthur Allen (head of ASG Software Solutions).

It would not be surprising if more instances don't surface of CEOs threatening their employees with job loss. It's merely an extension of what the far right plutocrats and their minions have been up to -- we have already seen that Rethuglicans have spent the last 4 years sabotaging the President's efforts to turn the economy around (after spending the previous 8 years wrecking it). The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, National Association of Manufacturers, Club for Growth, and other Rethuglican-front organizations have been fully engaged in promoting policies that enrich the wealthiest Americans at the expense of those who work for them. These are soulless people who firmly believe Willard's "47 percent" crap about makers and takers. They care nothing for the people who work every day to make them wealthy; they only care how they can be manipulated to do the plutocrat's will. This is how they prove it.
