Audio: Mitt Romney Tells Companies to Warn Employees Their Jobs Depend on How They Vote
Several billionaires have recently told their employees to vote for Mitt Romney or they might not have a job after the election.
However, it looks like the first businessman to make this veiled threat was GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney when he addressed the National Federation of Independent Business back on June 6, 2012.
CrooksandLiars.com has unearthed a conference call in which Romney tells business owners: "I hope you make it very clear to your employees what you believe is in the best interest of your enterprise and therefore their job and their future in the upcoming elections..."
"I hope you pass those along to your employees. Nothing illegal about you talking to your employees about what you believe is best for the business, because I think that will figure into their election decision, their voting decision and of course doing that with your family and your kids as well."

Chinese jobs would do better
Chinese jobs would do better under Romney, that is for sure. Good capitalism to sack expensive American workers and export their jobs to much cheaper economies. That way you can make even more profit. Minor problem that there are far fewer people able to afford to buy and more people on welfare, but the seriously wealthy have never worried about them. So, vote Republican, you know it makes sense!
