Obama Supports Workers, McCain Doesn't
I noticed in this Fortune interview a surprising policy nugget:
John McCain has regularly fought against minimum wage increases, and he even voted to abolish the minimum wage in 2007.
This should be an interesting campaign issue going forward. This is one of many issues, like McCain's plans for "100 Years" in Iraq, that will be an absolute killer for the Republican's chances.
Therefore, he argues, business should support Obama's plan to shift the tax burden toward the wealthy and raise the federal minimum wage to $9.50 over two years (under current law it goes to $6.55 in July).
