Stop Offshoring
Friday, October 03, 2008
As we roll toward the Presidential election next month, it's becoming increasingly clear that Obama is on the side of American workers whereas McCain supports offshoring. McCain's record indicates that he supports giving tax breaks to companies that ship their jobs overseas. On the other hand, Obama seems to be in touch with the angst of American workers, with quotes like the following during a gathering of machinists and aerospace workers.
"I stand with you because what you're fighting for isn't unreasonable -- what you're fighting for is a fair shot at the American dream... It's the idea that your government shouldn't stand idly by while your job is shipped overseas."
Obama obviously gets it. McCain doesn't.
