Reply #25: some brief criticisms:

[pinto]

"The group said it will be mutually beneficial for these candidates to work cooperatively with the Nader candidacy."

I think the Greens for Nader folks are shooting themselves in the foot.


"Nader calls for repealing the Bush tax cuts for the rich and investing the restored revenues in public works that directly create living-wage jobs in infrastructure renewal and public services," said Howie Hawkins, a Teamster and Green congressional candidate in Syracuse, New York."

"Repealing the tax cuts for the rich" is the Democratic stand, in fact, it is the Democratic language for the issue. Kerry supports raising the minimum wage which would have a more immediate effect, imho, than a public works program, to help provide living wages for American workers.

lastly. from the Kerry platform:

End Every Single Tax Credit That Gives Corporations Breaks for Moving Jobs Offshore.

John Kerry will close every single loophole that gives companies incentives to move jobs abroad, including stopping American companies from setting up virtual headquarters in foreign countries just to avoid paying U.S. taxes and stop tax breaks for companies that move jobs abroad.
