Koch industries, other CEOs warn employees of layoffs if Obama is reelected

[uscitizen]

Yep I am not sure it is legal.

 

[BecauseIKnow]

Yep I am not sure it is legal.

It's technically an economic threat so it should be illegal. But it's the Koch industries and well all know shit won't happen probably

 

[The Rabbi]

It's not a threat if it's going to happen. It's a promise. And Koch Industries isn't the only company. Obamacare will savage companies' budgets, shifting funds to expanded health care mandates that could have spent on workers' salaries. That is what should be focused on. Obama says he wants to focus on jobs jobs jobs. He's focusing on killing them.

 

[BecauseIKnow]

It IS a threat.

 

[SniperFire]

It IS a threat.

Obamacare? Agreed!

 

[ScienceRocks]

Guess what...If they can't afford to have those employee's! What's so wrong with telling them that they may be let go if something that makes it harder occurs.

It's about making a profit with businesses. Supply and demand and making a profit.

 

[BecauseIKnow]

it is a threat.

obamacare? Agreed!

no!

Always keep in mind your vote is YOURS. Not your bosses.

Perfect.

I was under the impression the right was all about free speech, non intrusive government blah blah.

They are ok for this though?

Hundreds of thousands of jobs are going to be lost in January 2013. It's coming.

You really think that a boss shouldn't be allowed to lay off people if they're not making a bottom line? Sounds like socialism to me.

Will you come back here when they dont shrink anything when Obama wins. Its all bullshit when nothing changes there but WILL YOU COME BACK HERE AND ADMIT IT WAS ALL A LIE. Another Right wing lie.

If the Kock brothers are anti Obama, who are they for then? Romney of course. Its because Romney is all about helping out his rich "friends".

fuck him.

They are defending communism. Yet they attack the Dem's for being "communist". Hypocrites

It's not a lie. I know a couple of CEOs. They all tell me the same thing. Obamacare will be devastating to their businesses because of the expensive mandates involved. Ones with over 50 employees are all trying to figure out how to reduce head count below 50, which is where the mandates really kick in. That will cost jobs.
If you increase costs to a company, who pays for it? Consumers, sure. But there is only so much increasing prices you can do. You cut costs. And since th ebiggest costs for most companies are labor, that's where they will cut.

No one on the right is defending communism, you stupid asshole. Companies are free to communicate with their workers, letting them know what the election will mean to them personally. In Koch's case it will mean cuts in salaries and benefits, if not outright layoffs. What is communistic there?

This is a threat to American employees. It's exactly like Communism. Using politics to make fear among voters.

It's not a threat, it's the truth.
It is nothing like communism.
Obama and Biden are the masters of using fear among voters, Mediscare. They're gonna put yall back in chains.
You fail. Totally.

Ohh. It's a threat. Why didnt you say so to begin with?

Geez, what an idiot. When you get layed off, assuming someone was stupid enough to hire you in the first place, you'll be blaming the GOP rather than Obamacare.
