Romney's plan for the middle class: Get used to being poor [View all]

[n2doc]

by James P. Hoffa


Mitt Romney's "plan for a stronger middle class" reads like a manifesto in the war on workers — for the other side.

It isn't even a plan, and it certainly won't strengthen the middle class. It's simply an outline of results that he wishes will happen: lower taxes for the wealthy, smaller government and weaker rights for workers.

In other words, Romney wants to redistribute more income to the 1 percent. He would never say it out loud, of course.

But in Mitt Romney's world view, low wages are the solution. For America's working families, low wages are the problem.

Most Americans' standard of living will fall if Romney is elected president. I have no doubt that he would take us to a race to the bottom on wages and competition with slave labor overseas.
