i urge all of you who are leaning republican are just the average American trying to compensate for what republicans have and are doing to our economy and you, this is what they intend as to what they say.
Republicans’ fear of paying too much is terrible. Not because of GOP angst. No, because it causes underpaid workers to suffer. Because it means Republicans will continue to blockade efforts to resolve the growing income inequality that is rupturing the economy and social cohesion of this nation.
Republicans in America suffer a crippling anxiety. It’s the terrible fear of corporations paying poor workers too much.
The GOP is so afraid that the nation’s lowest wage earners will get a raise that Republican politicians across the country are working overtime to outlaw wages above $7.25 an hour for these workers.
They’re passing legislation forbidding towns and counties from raising the minimum wage in their jurisdictions. Republicans insist: no pay bump for those raking in $15,080 a year! On the other side, however, there’s no amount of pay, perks, private jets, premium health plans and golden parachutes that Republican politicians believe could possibly be too much for a CEO.
it's one thing to oppose but to go so far as to pass laws to punish you if you attempt to get fair wages. it's ludicrous and 3rd world acts to pay nothing for a yeid of millions and no sharing or as much as a thank you.
That Oracle CEO Larry Ellison took home $78,440,657 last year is completely reasonable in the minds of Republicans. That it would take a minimum wage earner 5,201 years to earn what Larry took out of his company for one 365-day period is, according to Republican-think, a morally correct calculation.
That is why Republicans are working so hard to prevent Walmart and McDonald’s workers from earning more money while, at the same time, doing nothing but congratulating Time Warner Cable CEO Rob Marcus for grabbing $79.9 million for six weeks of work.
are you seeing their defense of 1% and 99% is just a kiss off there is a war against the poor they think "we have the jobs we control what we payout for labor, win win" high fives all around.
and "we the people" are not a part of the America is the greatest, richest country in the world, while republicans vote to supply summer meals for rural kids their base and cut them for urban kids our base.
the audacity of blatant arrogance to tell the part of the country that votes Progressive you can starve or dumpster dive this summer and tell White rural's yeah we got you this is a bone i think to calm the base who is starting to recognize that what they do to us is done to them too.
