Top 5 Reasons Not to Vote for Jill Stein

3. The Most Vulnerable Among us Will Be Hit Hardest

Jill Stein does a great job talking about the poor. If you listen long enough, you might think she actually cares. This isn’t to say that, in her heart of hearts, she doesn’t like the poor. It just means that she doesn’t care to take the time to learn the devastating effects of her policies on working families.

Stein says she wants to eliminate poverty. Aside from the notion of waging a war on a relative term, she also wants to install a “living wage.” She can probably string along a few millennials and working-class laborers who feel that they’ve been left behind. However, if she were to assume office, those people would take a hard lesson in economics real quick.

It’s a virtue to feel sympathy for the impoverished and hard working families that can’t seem to get by. It’s a malicious tragedy, however, to actively pursue policies that will wrench opportunities out of their waiting hands.

4. Quality Jobs Will Fly to Greener Pastures

Reform Paryt candidate Ross Perot once spoke of a “giant sucking sound” regarding jobs flying from Mexico to the United States. While he may have been operating on a flawed premise, he did seem to forecast the noise we would hear under a Stein administration.

It is an impossible to task to name a single Stein policy that will make it easier to hire workers in the United States. Her energy policies are an implicit tax on manufacturers and those in the conventional-energy sector. Her proposed rules for businesses will lead to increasing automation. We’re seeing the effects of this already.

As it stands, jobs are already flying to China and India, among others. It’s hard to make a case that businesses want to do this. If, however, Stein assumes office, there’s no reason to believe that firms would be able to bring any of these jobs back.
