Before superPACs, a way to get around campaign finance limitations was to coerce your employees to donate to your political candidate of choice. If the law limits you to a five thousand dollar donation individually, but you have five thousand employees to whom you can give a hundred dollar bonus each and you can force to donate it to your candidate, that's five million you can try to sneaky around the campaign finance laws. That's why they ask for your employer.
