Election Issues- The Budget

August 24, 2008


I have been asked in elected to Congress my thoughts on how to handle the national budget:

I support and demand a livable wage (minimum pay that people can live on, approx $10/hr in most communities), democratic workplaces, strong unions, and repeal of Taft-Hartley restrictions. Note: Between 1965-1975 the US Federal Minimum Wage was approximately $8.00/hr (in 2005 dollars).

Republicans oppose raising the minimum wage and Democrats support insignificant incremental minimum wage increases.

I also oppose Global Corporate Power Trade agreements and institutions ( NAFTA, FTAA, CAFTA, and WTO) and oppose trade pacts because of their anti-democratic power to overturn labor, environmental, and human rights protections.
