"I've done my share of educating my employees," business owner "David," who refused to use his real name on air, told KSNT radio host Kevin Wall. "I never tell them which way to vote. I believe in the free system that we have. I believe in everybody having their right to choose who they want to be president."

"I just believe I can fire them if the exercise their 'David' given right to choose who they want to be president."

he had fired 22 of his 114 "mostly Hispanic" employees because ... if Obama gets in office, the regulations for Obamacare are going to hurt our business ...

Uhmm ... dude, ObamaCare still applies to your car-wash/fast food franchise/lawn care business.

Finally, the rest of his work force should immediately seek other employment because if this jerk is making business decision based on political ideology ... he won't be in business much longer.
