John McCain's radical anti-worker agenda.
The AFL-CIO has a summary of John McCain's anti-worker agenda. For instance:
--He voted for CAFTA and NAFTA, two bills that helped ship hundreds of thousands of jobs overseas, tore apart communities, and took away our futures from our youth;
--Voted against overtime rights;
--Voted against extending unemployment benefits;
--Opposed the Employee Free Choice Act;
--Opposed the SCHIP expansion that was supported by 80% of the American people;
But on top of that, there is one other item that the blog does not mention, but that is important to understanding just how radical John McCain really is. He was one of 28 senators to vote to abolish the minimum wage altogether.
This is why we should not vote for John McCain as our next president -- he is simply too radical for this country. He would create a gigantic military industrial complex state where our middle class young people have only one choice -- go off and fight in his 100-year wars. The labor for this country would be supplied by illegal immigrants who can't agitate for their rights for fear of deportation. And then, he would appoint radical right-wing judges who would vote to uphold this sorry state of affairs.
We have a fundamental choice for this election -- we can vote for Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama, who would restore the rule of law, get us out of Iraq, and create a progressive society that would be the example for the rest of the world to follow. Or, we can vote for John McCain and enter a guilded age in which might makes right and in which the neocons would be able to plot more wars for oil and profit. Whatever our differences with Clinton or Obama, they pale in comparison with the differences that we have with John McCain.
