Bosses of major companies have begun using corporate funds to campaign for their candidates.
Heaven forbid! If you are a worker at Georgia-Pacific, Cintas, Koch Industries or a host of small companies, your mailbox may contain a letter urging you to support your boss’s choice of candidates.
One boss said that if Obama ever levies a higher tax against him personally, he will lay off workers. Another defends his threat to cut jobs if Obama wins by saying that it’s not using threats: “it’s like telling your kids to ‘eat your spinach, it’s good for you.’ ”
So much for “If you know what’s good for you!” from your friendly job-cutting, profit-sucking boss. Spinach will be all we’re left with if we depend on either candidate or their corporate messengers to save us.
