Koch Brothers want to amass more wealth
The Power of Money over People
The Koch Brothers duo controlling Koch Industries, a private business conglomerate, are running scared about a possible Obama reelection. They are warning their employees (about 50,000) that if Obama is reelected many of them would suffer "consequences' (read it as "layoffs"). This is an implied threat and a coercion that the employees should vote for Romney. Where is democracy in this country? Is it that money-can-buy-the-votes situation prevailing now? I am sure many of the employees would vote the way they feel--not the way the management wants since it is not open voting where your choice is made public. Some employees would, however, believe the admonition and vote Republican. So be it. But what is this country coming to? Money is beating democracy?
