If you want any more evidence that this current election seems to be a struggle between an open plutocracy and the democratic will of the people, look no further!
Under the threat of (GASP!) A... 4% tax increase that may or may not happen if Obama is reelected; a CEO threatens to fire his workers, destroy his company, and then as one final "screw you" move away from the U.S.
Be warned, this isn't any "small businessman" this man is building one of the largest mansions in the country. It has god-damned elevators and is ironically nicknamed "Versailles" by him. He even admitted he had more than enough money to retire and leave a fortune to his children.

My response to this?
Pack your bags and get out of here, we don't want you.
This is utterly disgusting, when this... This... Plutocrat's power is "threatened" he throws a fit like a child and threatens to "Go Galt" on us (thanks Ayn Rand! You sure did help out this country with your philosophy!) and purposely work to ruin the lives of over 7000 people like a petulant child!
If I could only say one thing to him, it's this: Leave. We don't need sociopaths like that man. That man who's so obsessed with his own fortune and greed that he'd rather let people starve on the street then give up a dime! We don't want you, we don't need you. You are in no way necessary to the U.S. economy, and we'd be happy for you to get lost so another company could take your place.
That man is a disgusting example of the greed in this country, he's intentionally trying to scare his +7000 employees into voting against Obama. "You need me!" he's trying to tell them. "You wont be able to live without me!" he's trying to pound into their heads. But the truth is we don't need that man, and we can live just fine without him. To think there's someone so disgustingly selfish that he'd rather ruin the lives of 7000 of his own employees then pay 4 dollars extra utterly sickens me.
Now, before I begin to sound any more like Istvan (Forgive me, Comrade, but you're views are a bit more... Well, noticeable here on the forums) I'm going to end this thread with a question... Who else is disgusted by what this guy's saying? What would you say to him if you had the chance?
