Tax Incentives For Offshore Industries - Low Wages For Workers
As Gordon Smith discusses economic development today at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland, here is the part of his record you won’t hear about.
As the Stop Gordon Smith campaign noted two months ago, he’s repeatedly voted against the minimum wage, and he voted against an amendment that would repeal tax incentives for companies that move their manufacturing plants offshore.
So, Smith doesn’t support a living wage for waiters, store clerks, assisted living workers and other folks trying to make a living, but will fight for tax incentives for major corporations that move jobs overseas.
But, don’t expect Smith to highlight that anti-worker part of his record today.

I'm the last person in the world to begrudge any working people in any country the right to make a living.
On the other hand, giving tax subsidies to corporations who move manufacturing overseas is about giving corporate fat cats a hefty bonus, not helping working people in any country.
SICK.
IT'S THE REPUBICAN WAY, ROYALTY VERSIS SERF!HOLD THE LITTLE PEOPLE DOWN; IF THEY ARE SCRAMBLING TO FEED THEMSELVES AND THEIR FAMILYS THEY DON'T HAVE TIME TO THINK; THEN THE KINGS OF BIG BUSINESS CAN CONTINUE TO DO WHAT THEY DO BEST, PUT MORE MONEY IN THEIR OWN POCKETS. NOTHING WRONG WITH MAKING MONEY; IT JUST SHOULDN'T BE DONE AT THE EXPENSE OF EVRYBODY ELSE. WE WANT WEALTHY PEOPLE TO MAKE MONEY AND BUILD BUSINESS, AND PROVIDE JOBS; WORKING PEOPLE JUST NEED TO SHARE IN THE WEALTH THIS COUNTRY PRODUCES. LIKE BUSH, SMITH HAS DEMONSTRATED BY HIS VOTING RECORD THAT HE WANTS THE WEALTH TO STAY ONLY IN THE HANDS OF THE RICH, AND TO HELL WITH WORKING PEOPLE! LLN
