I read that article...and while I saw the teabaggers fly out of the woodwork to suggest he was just "telling it like it is"...I told them it's fuck'in coercion, plain and simple.  There's no semantics here...he's basically saying, "If Obama wins, you're fired!"  I'm sure he already had his boot lickers give him lists of all the people they know or suspect to be Obama supporters, so they can go first.  Hell, he'll probably fire them whether Obama wins or not.  He's like that Thompson guy, who couldn't remember if he had 3 or 4 houses.  It's not in their wheelhouse of need to know. They just have them...you jealous?

My response to these yokels was...

1. there's no guarantee taxes will be raised, especially if the same obstructionism continues.
2. It assumes that if Romney is elected, that he won't ever raise taxes.
3. That tax credits or something else related to business won't offset any tax raise so then no firing's would be necessary.
4. He doesn't ultimately know WHAT the future holds regarding taxes OR how they'll relate to his business when all is said and done.
5. He just used doom and gloom coercion to manipulate his employees concerning a matter that may never transpire as he has envisioned.

I like to call that dirty pool...especially when you dangle people's livelihood's over their heads over unknowns. He wasn't giving ANYONE a heads up...he's trying to extort votes.
