The Tool can say whatever he wants to say. There is no breach of Liberty because all of our votes are secret ballots. At most, he'll minimize the number of Obama/Biden bumper stickers in the parking lots.
I'd still fly mine, if only just to let him know that I personally plan to negate his vote at the Polls.
As RGacky3 mentioned, party affiliation is public. Also political campaign contributions. Political campaign volunteering although not officially published can be monitored. Yard signs, bumper stickers, etc. are all public.
One possible way that corporate fascism will advance upon our citizenry is through these sort of intrusive actions designed to intimidate and cow workers into betraying their own interests in favor of the corporation and their wealthy owners. Disgusting attempts like this must be exposed, attacked and stopped in their tracks.
Agreed. Why, can you imagine what would be next? Why, he might take his workers money and use it to offset political activity. That would be awful.
He is ALREADY taking money he made off his workers and using it for political activity that goes against the interests of his workers.
That is ALREADY happening.
OH MY GOSH! That's AWFUL. We need to stop that kind of thing Right Away!
Your party registration is a matter of public record.
Yet I guess libertarians will thing this is absolutely ok ... which goes to show, they don't care about liberty, they are all for private plutocratic tyrannies.
He has the right to say that. Then anyone he fires can sue his ass.
My father in law was under a similar order in '84 to vote for Reagan. For some unknown reason, he did. Since he lived in Minnesota, it made no difference as it was the only state Mondale won. But I can't figure out how this guy's going to know who his employees voted for. If indeed he can find out, I'd worry about what kind of election fraud he's able to pull off. It would be a worrisome state if he could know.
At 3:10, this guy talks about Murray Energy, the coal company where rumor had it that the miners were forced to go to a Romney Rally. That is blatantly false.
The 24-Karat Tool, however, is as tooly as presented. He probably has Alzheimer's Disease.
Sue on what grounds? He's not saying he'll fire them in retaliation. He's saying he'll decide to go out of business and retire to a sunny beach. Different things.
But let's just be honest here. The guy's a ****ing idiot. :rofl

Well, OK. I like how he admits to illegalities in helping Bush by not turning in registrations for Democrat employees. Can you say "fraud?" I know someone will defend him for that. In 3,2,1...
This is a breach of liberty.Employers have no business extorting their employees to vote a particular way.This should be a criminal offense with a mandatory minimum of 5 years in a real prison and the company seriously fined.
Can't defend him for that. He should be prosecuted for admitting he committed fraud, in my opinion. (And his admitting it is just one more reason I think some of his cylinders have stopped firing.)
Nonsense. Freedom of Speech.
Nonsense. Freedom of Speech.
Which apparently you're willing to extend only to business owners.
This is absurd. I'm a libertarian. There's nothing here remotely connected to freedom of speech.
No, I'm willing to extend it to anyone. Why do you say that? Unions are particularly good at utilizing freedom of speech to encourage their members to vote for Obama. What do you think they're telling their membership when they go knock on their doors this time of year?
What does your being a libertarian have to do with this? Is freedom of speech different for libertarians?
