Wisconsin One-Percenter Threatens Worker Jobs If Obama Relected

This should be Obama HQ bulletin board material, as it highlights the ugliest side of Romney's core backers' arrogance:

Mike White, the chairman and owner of Rite-Hite, a major Milwaukee manufacturer of industrial equipment, told employees in an email this week that all employees "should understand the personal consequences to them of having our tax rates increase dramatically if President Obama is re-elected, forcing taxpayers to fund President Obama's future deficits and social programs (including Obamacare), which require bigger government."

Sometimes the truth may hurt, but it is still the truth. Obama's economic and anti-business policies cause employers to make decisions.

If you don't believe that, you are simply being naive.

He isn't threatening, just being honest about the ramifications of another 4 failed years of Obama.

Rick Esenberg, peripatetic legal eagle and right-wing apologist, once was a key executive at Rite Hite (may still be; evidence is obscure). Whatever these folks--loading dock moguls--believe and bleat about and use to intimidate working people, it sure does reek of Rick's self-satisfied muscular Christianity.
