A Michigan CEO is giving his employees a little friendly advice: Vote Romney, or you'll end up paying for it.
In a letter to company workers, Richard Lacks, who runs auto parts supplier Lacks Enterprises, advised them to “vote to improve your standard of living” by opposing President Obama.
Obama's healthcare overhaul, Lacks claimed, would lead to higher health insurance costs for the firm. “As employees, you will receive no additional direct benefit other than you will have to pay for it,” he added.
Lacks continued: “The talk of additional tax increases by the administration, if re-elected, will have an additional negative impact on the organization. It is always important to remember the more government takes the less there will be available to spread around to the working people of this company."
The letter was leaked to MILive.com.
On The Ed Show Monday, Ed Schultz filled viewers in on the real kicker: In that same letter, Lacks informed employees they'd be getting their sixth bonus on 3 years. Though a company spokesman told MILive.com that the firm didn't benefit directly from the auto bailout pushed by the Obama administration and opposed by Romney, Ed noted that's not the full story. G.M. and Chrysler are among Lacks's top customers, and without the bailout, they might not exist today. So it's fair to say that Obama's bailout has played a pretty big role in the firm's success these last few years.

Plutocracy vs. democracy. What will YOU choose?
I take it your for taxing successful individuals ??
I take it that you like repeating right wing bull@!$%#. Here is a clue taxes are not a punishment taxes are the dues citizen pay for the services government provide the wealthy use more services so they should pay more not less. Just because an insane doddering old fool told you differently well he was a republican so he was a born liar.
It is time to cap these CEO's salaries. No CEO shall make more than the President of The United States of America. These are dictators, coercing their employees and treating them like slaves. WE SHOULD PUT THESE CEOs IN JAIL.
No CEO shall make more than the President of The United States
CEOs produce profits for corporations and deserve a portion of those profits. The current POTUS produces nothing and wastes the profits that corporations make.
btw Bill Clinton is worth over 100 million.

Mark
You nailed it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Unions have been telling thier members who they should vote for, so why shouldn't the CEO. Unions are against Right to Work states because the members have a choice on weather or not to be in the union, to contribute to a campaign or not, to choose one candidate over another and so on. Dictators like Obama also oppose this.
As do I!
It seems that the GOP can't win the election honestly, they will revert to any tatic, CEO's blackmailing their employees to vote replublican, making changes that been in place for years to block votes, calling it voter protection, creating super pacts for monies (guess who putting into that pot). This has been going on since watergate days, or before. Not saying that this doesn't cross the asile, but not as much. If this the way of the America way of politics, then let's have a dictatorship, I'm sure that will clear up all difference between the parties.
We have a dictator, and he wants to make choices for you, whether you like it or not. After all, Obama is the first American Pharaoh. "So it is said, so shall it be written".
Another douchebag ceo threatening his employees to vote his way or else. These people should be arrested for voter intimidation. It's the same thing that the repugs are doing at polling places. Reprehensible, disgusting, and unfortunately, not surprising for a party of thugs and blue nose snobs
A few ground rules for employees, especially public employees,
around election season can keep these kinds of headlines out of the media.
