How is not even remotely applicable?

Is it a joke that the government exempted themselves from ObamaTax?

The term Obama"tax" hasn’t really caught on you know.

Did Romney receive the MA healthcare he advanced while living there?

If I were an Obama supporter I wouldn’t want to talk about Obama either.

I guess what he defines as “continues to operate.”

There are more than a few CEO’s who have completely gone without their salaries so that their employees can continue working or receiving health care.

THOSE are the heroes. Those are the models for the billionaire CEOs.

These CEO’s are displaying charity as Christ would demmand and they are receiving but temporal and spiritual adulation for it.

LIke to see a list of heroes.

For the sake of discussion, let’s say that a business owner wrote the same email, but instead of promoting Romney, he insisted that his workers support Obama or their jobs would be in danger. What if it were your boss that wrote such an email? How would you feel then?

Probaly happens often, just gets no press. In fact, it happens in all types of subtle ways in many work places. I do not see this anything new.

From CNN/Money:
Surprise. David Siegel, the resort CEO who is building the biggest private home in the country, really, really doesn’t like President Obama. And while Siegel hasn’t sent any money to Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, he has gone a step farther to support him.
On Monday he sent an e-mail to all 7,000 employees of privately-held Westgate Resorts, many of them in the battleground state of Florida, warning them their jobs are at risk if the president is re-elected.
“The economy doesn’t currently pose a threat to your job. What does threaten your job however, is another 4 years of the same Presidential administration,” he said in the e-mail.
“If any new taxes are levied on me, or my company, as our current President plans, I will have no choice but to reduce the size of this company,” he says in the nearly 1,400-word e-mail. “Rather than grow this company I will be forced to cut back. This means fewer jobs, less benefits and certainly less opportunity for everyone.”

​
He lays it out for his employees. He insists that he did not threaten to fire anybody nor did he order anybody to vote a certain way.

Apocalyptic.

Well, the joke may be on the CEO when he won’t be able to write off half of his expenses, if Romney/Ryan have their way.

Be careful for what you wish.

Well then this CEO must be doing something Christ would approve of then, right???

Oh wait…probably not.

Look the fact is Christ does tell us not to vote Obama through the application of the principles of His Church. Christ would not want anyone to vote for someone who agreed with partial birth abortion, who hates religious liberty, who hates conscience wants to destroy marriage etc…
 
I’m torn. On the one hand, I’m thrilled that so many of you seem to support free enterprise, to the extent that you acknowledge that a business owner has a right to do… pretty much whatever he wants with his own business without government interference.

On the other hand, I’m disappointed that so many of you think there is nothing wrong with this kind of intimidation in a free society.

Romney said during the debates that he wants to limit the amount of deductions a person (and presumably a business) can take on income taxes.
 
Reminds me of the time a bond issue came up. The bond was unpopular because of its high price tag. The town I was living in was a college town, and most of the residents were renters (i.e. students). Signs started appearing in town that said: “If this passes, I WILL raise your rent!”

Letting people know the issues that will have be dealt with if there is a second term for Obama is intimidation? Ignorance is not bliss.

If someone in authority implies they are going to fire you if Romney isn’t elected, how is that not a threat to vote for Romney?

Do you really want to live in a world where your boss tells you how to vote? That sounds feudalistic.

How would you feel if your boss told you, “If Obama doesn’t get re-elected, we might have to let people go”?

Let’s be honest: what is the purpose of this section of the e-mail? If it’s not to intimidate these employees into making the ‘correct’ vote, then what is the purpose?

I’d say he is better off warning his employees that a continuance of the current business climate under this president will force his hand with layoffs.

He isn’t being spiteful, he is being a a business leader. If he said “if you vote for Obama, I don’t want you working here,” I’d say he was being a jerk. But he isn’t. he is warning of the inevitable impact of a re-election.

I’d personally rather have a heads up myself.

This, unlike those cowards at Lockheed Martin, who buckled under the feds request and declined to do right by their employees.

Now granted, LHM did this at the behest of the White House, who clearly could care less about people losing their jobs.

I’d much rather have a boss like this guy who doesn’t actually want to have to fire you.

To me, its a veiled threat plain and simple.

So stating that one party winning will have negative effects on your income is a threat? Look at all the people on Social Security that Obama has threatened. :rolleyes:

True. It’s no different than saying “Paul Ryan is going to gut Medicare” and more tactful than “he’s gonna put y’all back in chains,” and more tangibly believable than both.
 
This guy reminds me of that verse in Luke, 14:28-30.
Which of you wishing to construct a tower does not first sit down and calculate the cost to see if there is enough for its completion?
29
Otherwise, after laying the foundation and finding himself unable to finish the work the onlookers should laugh at him
30
and say, ‘This one began to build but did not have the resources to finish.’

That’s not very principled.

Your spite would kill more babies.

Did you consider that?
