Chuck Norris isn't running for President, or telling employers to all but outright threaten their employees. The letters they've sent out have been leaked, we know how they went about doing it. All they need is for Obama to be President and them to fire a single person, and lawsuits shall rain upon them.

"Hi, Mr. Warlord #2, yeah I'm the guy that got Mr. Warlord #1 strung up. Need a hired hand?" Its another category of whistle-blowing on skullduggery by employers. The actual communications by the CEOs to their employees that have been leaked so far vary in terms of the expressed levels of stupidity

You can have a "don't ask don't tell" where nobody's allowed to say anything about their political convictions to "it's okay to put up posters" to "it's okay to wear pins and debate politics in the break room". So I can see an employer sending a company-wide mail saying "I'm voting for X because I think he'll be better for my business" being legal or not, depending on where you are. |

Yes, and they can always simply be fired for some vague, undefined reason as "poor performance." It's the employee get-out-of-jail-free card; I could have sued two separate businesses into oblivion had they been honest about WHY they fired me...

Ok this is a conspiracy theory of mine that I have been entertaining for a few years now, but now given the audio tape and the latest developments I think I am more inclined to look at it more seriously, so here it goes:
We all know that the "job creators" have been sitting on a trillion dollars record profit for years now, but instead of using that money and hiring new employees and expanding their businesses, they have been telling everyone that the market is too unstable right now. Therefore, they are waiting until the election when the market climate will become more certain. My theory is that these guys are incredibly well organized, so much so that they have decided not to touch the mountain of cash they are setting on because they don't want the Obama administration to look good. They know that under a deregulatory environment they stand to make a killing, thus a GOP candidate is just what they are looking for. But seriously, can these people be that well organized to effectively paralyze the nation's GDP for political gain? I really find it hard to believe, but given the current news on how CEOs are already handing out letters to their employees that they should vote for Romney or else don't blame them when the "anti business Obama administration" policies forces business to cut down on the workforce. Am I too paranoid now to believe such a thing could be happening?

Sometimes mutual interest is all you need. If the circle of deciders is small enough, they can get to mutual agreements without orgainzation or even communication.
Pricing for oil, gas, electricity/energy and soon telecommunication are areas where such mutual decission making without actual agreements works perfectly (there are many other areas, but those mentioned are most noticable imo).

Well who knows, but they didn't wait Obama for this, at the end of Bush Jr second presidency, US unemployement was around 6% while right know the official number is 7.5 something like this.
Aside this I don't remember rich creating job but it's another debate. |

I'm sure many companies in industries like manufacturing, agriculture, pharmaceutics, publishing and content providers are more likely to favor the democrats over the republicans. The jobless recovery has more to do with globalization. Cost efficiency causes production to get shipped overseas to developing countries, technology replaces low skilled labor. Only low paid service jobs and temporal employment remain. The working and lower middle classes have seen a relative decline in wealth, not just in the US but in most of the developed world. This also affects politics as desperate people are more likely to vote for populists who promise quick fixes. |
