Mitt Romney loves business, hates democracy

By Michael J.W. Stickings

And thinks business owners should use intimidation to pressure their employees on how to vote:

Newly-discovered audio from a conference call in June captures Mitt Romney asking business owners to urge their employees to vote for him.

Romney, speaking on a call to the very conservative National Federation of Independent Business, tells a group of business owners that they should "make it very clear" how they feel about the candidates. The audio, discovered by In These Times, also captures Romney telling the business owners to "pass... along to your employees" how their jobs might be effected by who wins in November.

Yes, that's the real Mitt Romney, caught on tape once again, the privileged sense of entitlement in full swing, perhaps his defining quality, a man who thinks he deserves whatever he wants and will say and do anything to get it, expressing his utter contempt for democracy -- and for the American people.
