[font size=3]The nonpartisan Center for Economic Policy Research (CEPR) has already concluded that Hillary's TPP will be a vicious assault on the jobs and wages of the vast majority of American workers. Fully NINETY PERCENT of American workers will see a pay cut as a result of this axe to the throat of the American worker, and that is not even counting the jobs that will be lost altogether.

But Hillary is not even stopping there. She is also pushing for predatory increases in H1B visas that take jobs from Americans:

Hillary pushes for increases in H1B visas and outsourcing.

Reject Third Way lies. Watch the policies, not the pretty rhetoric.

This is the stunning level of corruption and dishonesty we have come to expect from corporate politicians like Hillary, who LIE TO OUR FACES claiming to care about income inequality while simultaneously supporting and even AUTHORING major policies that take a sledgehammer to American jobs, wages, and futures.
