This is an interesting link with ~ The Briefing Book - John McCain Revealed. Click the tabs of the book and learn more about this man. It’s scary,,,, I don’t think this man has been listening to Americans or seeing what the problems are!

Information validated with sources link on first page.

John McCain Revealed (http://www.aflcio.org/issues/politics/mccain.cfm - broken link)

Just a marketing piece from the AFL-CIO.

In looking at just one issue, healthcare, they mention the taxing of an employer providedd benefit yet gloss over the $5,000 credit proposed by McCain. If you look at Obama's healthcare proposal, it basically is to establish a centralized healthcare plan and force employer contributions:

"Employer Contribution: Employers that do not offer or make a meaningful contribution to the cost of quality health coverage for their employees will be required to contribute a percentage of payroll toward the costs of the national plan."

This increase in benefits could result in lower employee pay too.

My point isn't to pick on Obama here, it is just to point out that these "hit pieces" like you provided from the AFL-CIO don't really present a basis for critical analysis, their purpose is just to alarm a certain segment of voters.
