Call it what it is: Corporate terrorism

[Hugabear]

Any company that threatens to fire their workers if a certain candidate gets elected is committing an act of terrorism IMHO. It's no different than somebody strapping a bomb to their chest and threatening to detonate it if they don't get their way. They're both using threats to achieve their goals.

I'll even take it a step further than that. Any company that engages in mass layoffs because of tax increases could also be viewed as corporate terrorism, especially if that company is still highly profitable. So because some big corporation only gets to rake in $200B in profits instead of $300B, that would justify laying off a bunch of employees? Doing so only creates a bigger strain on the system, with more and more people needing assistance.

I don't understand why corporate greed isn't considered just as bad as religion-based terrorism. Maybe once we start seeing more and more mass-shootings by fired workers it will start to sink in.

1. I think you could make a strong case for extortion

[defacto7]

2. extortion, terrorism, psychological warfare,

holding workers and their families hostage...

I think they have the idea they live in an untouchable tower. They don't realize that the will of thinking American people is stronger than their arrogance. They can't buy us.

3. Same thing the GOP did with the budget, extorting the Democrats for UE, etc.

What did they get for that?

The nuke that's set to hit in January with their masters losing their Bush Tax Cuts and military spending cut in half or something like that.

That's why they're pulling out every trick in their book to win this election. Time to vote their lousy asses out.
