All These CEO Shakedowns and Threats.....

What is so transparent about all these CEO's threatening their employees to vote for RMoney is that, for the most part, the business environment isn't going to change next year regardless of who is elected President.

However, if Obama gets a second term, it is highly likely that the CEOs are going to have to pay a little more in taxes.

In other words, it is not about "Your Jobs," - it is about "my taxes."

When these employees go to the voting booth there is not going to be any CEO telling them what to do. I like wishful thinking therefore I would like to believe that they would have a mind of their own.

and I doubt Mr. CEO is going to be able to bully anyone outside the executive suite.

In fact, the workers he's been underpaying for years are more likely to vote for Obama now, out of pure spite.
