During the 2012 presidential race, something you may
still remember, wealthy Florida real estate person David Siegel got
a bit of notoriety for sending his Westgate Resorts employees a
maudlin form letter. He noted that while he couldn't "tell you whom to
vote for," their jobs would be "endanger"-ed if the cruel
President Barack Obama was not unseated by fellow wealthy person Mitt Romney.
The ostensible cause was that his fragile empire could not possibly stand
another four years of the sort of deeply onerous taxes that Siegel imagined
Obama had been imposing, and that if he was going to be taxed anymore he was
going to close his company and go be rich on a Caribbean beach.
