FreedomWorks-Bullfinch Group Hispanic Latino Policy Survey

Today, FreedomWorks Foundation filed a formal comment with the Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) opposing the Biden Administration's proposal to make permanent the mandate for COVID-19 vaccinations and testing. The comment argues that this mandate is unwise, unnecessary, and will further inflame opposition to the COVID vaccines among the vaccine-resistant public. Businesses are perfectly capable of determining what works for their employees. A number of businesses already require vaccination or regular testing; and some businesses, particularly in rural areas, may not be able to fill positions if potential employees face mandatory vaccination or regular testing. Instead of getting people back to work and growing the economy, people will sit idle--ultimately at the expense of beleaguered taxpayers. The full text of the comment is attached and can be accessed here.

Many of you are, without a doubt, looking forward to retirement. You’ve scrimped and saved, perhaps worked at a job you didn’t care for or worked more hours than you wanted to, just to put away more money for the day you could leave work behind for good and–finally–relax and enjoy life. And you probably saved most of your money in a 401(k) plan, especially if you’re one of the many whose employers do not offer pension plans. But if the Biden Administration has its way, your “golden years” may be more brass than gold.
