Politically speaking though this is the same. In fact, the union gets contributions from members and then openly donates to preferred candidates. That is far more involvement than an independent business owner donating some cash and suggesting his employees vote for someone; its not their money!

I would totally agree if the message was "do it or else", but its not. Its "you should vote this way because we think its better for business", which is the same message that Bunk gets (maybe less/more directly due to that specific position). Why shouldn't an employer take that action?
