House rejects Sanders-Paul WTO withdrawal amendment
The Sanders-Paul House Joint Resolution I referred to positively some weeks ago in this blog failed, 86-338. Republicans voted in favor of remaining in the WTO as is 185-39 with 6 non-voters and Democrats favored the same 153-46 with 2 non-voters and one absurd "present."
Thus we see the the dramatic difference between the two major parties on issues of labor, environment, national sovereignty, social justice and trade; the percentages willing to actively vote in favor of screwing the majority of the world’s people and undermining American sovereignty as reagrds labor, environmental and human rights in the service of international capital revealing an 80.4% (R) vs. 75.7% (D) split. "Vive la difference!"
Rep. Bob Brady (D-PA), a union man no less, naturally did the will of Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and the world’s rich and powerful like a good soldier and voted in favor of the established socio-economic order.
