| The Ghost of RubangB said: That was a silly link. Obama is for raising the minimum wage and for net neutrality. McCain is against both. That's just nuts. How can anybody oppose raising the minimum wage? If inflation goes up and the cost of living goes up, and wages DON'T go up... more people fall under the poverty line. People need 2 or 3 jobs to pay rent. That's total bullshit. I've been there before. If I wasn't getting tips at my job, I wouldn't have been able to afford my cheap-as-fuck ghetto apartment. I'm voting Obama. I'm also against the war in Iraq, considering we didn't even finish the fucking job in Afghanistan, and now we're considering starting a 3rd invasion in Iran? Iran is a serious issue in our election? And I'm for universal health care and I support all abortions, even after the whiny fuckers are born. |
You really need to re-read Obama's positions.
He will put troops back in Iraq if Iraq can't handle it. He's also promised to be very hard on Iran and invade them if nessisary.
As for Minimium Wage. The problem with that is that it increases inflation, as when the workers wages go up, companies raise the price of products in retaliation.
Furthmore the smaller mom and pops that hire minmium wage workers because they can't afford it take a big hit and go out of buisness.
It's better to raise minium wage when the economy is booming and companies are less likely to adjust prices to make back profits or do so on a smaller scale.
To do it when the economy is bad just raises inflation... and puts a lot of people who work for small chains out of buisness helping bigger corporations secure higher market shares and be able to screw people more.
The abortion issue is troubling though.
However compared to the global food crisis and that Obama's current stances are just going to make food everywhere a LOT more expensive, he's likely going to cost lower and middleclass people money, not save them. Besides McCain is promising about $2000 more per middle class worker in tax cuts then Obama.
