This is rich, coming from the campaign of the candidate who wants to raise the retirement age, abolish Social Security and privatize it, opposes the National Labor Relations Act (or at least any NLRA reforms), opposed any form of health care reform, thinks that wealthiest one percent of Americans should pay the same tax rate as the poorest:
Unions "support Sestak because he has the same policies they have, because he supports empowering union bosses at the expense of workers,” said Nachama Soloveichik, Mr. Toomey’s spokeswoman.
Yeah, that's it. Favoring policies that help working people doesn't help them. It only helps "union bosses," whoever they are. The solution to helping workers must be making sure they work longer, shifting the risk to them of their pensions, making sure they can't afford health care, and making sure that those with the most money pay the least proportional taxes.
These are just a few of the reasons why it's important to vote.
