Issue Position: Economy

Issue Position

We need to strengthen our economy by protecting our current jobs. Increasing the minimum wage would be a good start. Allowing people to earn more money will spur the economy by individual having more spending power. Our younger generation has to work two or three jobs, seniors are being forced back to the work, and family members are required to work two jobs just to make ends meet.

Eliminating the "Right to Work" legislation will also help protect our current jobs and protect OUR future jobs. Unions have always set the standards for non-union pay, benefits and workers safety. To weaken the unions means to weaken the voices of ALL workers.

We need a tax system that is fair to ALL people. Allowing the wealthiest individuals/corporations to have tax cuts/incentives is wrong and does little to help our economy. Increase the taxation on the middle class and retiree does not help create jobs, it actually cost us jobs because individuals to have less spending money.
