This article lays out a pretty solid case for why politics should be kept out of business.

If the leadership of a company is willing to send an email like this to all of their customers, it doesn't seem unreasonable to believe that the employees are being influenced, which is the core component of that article:
When the Founders set about designing the world’s first democracy, they were particularly concerned that employees might be subject to the undue influence of those who controlled their economic fate. “In the main,” Alexander Hamilton warned, “power over a man’s support is power over his will.” Constitutional author Gouverneur Morris likewise worried that those who “receive their bread from their employer” would be pressured to “sell [their votes] to the rich.”
Just curious — do you also oppose lobbying, and private businesses working with police/military/etc? In the scheme of “politics at work”, this is much less egregious than, say, Microsoft’s DoD contract or Google’s campaign contributions.
