Where's the love?

You'll often hear republicans say they're going to Washington or their respective state capital to do the work of the American people.  And God knows they control both houses of Congress at the national level and a vast majority at the state level.

I mention this because I read a piece this week about how wage theft has become an epidemic in America, and I think we can all agree that if an employer tells you they'll pay you X amount of dollars for your time that they'll actually pay you X amount of dollars for your time.  Or if they ask you to work eight hours in a day and you work those eight hours, they'll pay you eight hours in wages.  But in many workplaces this isn't happening.

Has anybody heard of any republicans starting committees, at either the state or national level, to look into wage theft?  I mean they seem to have all kinds of committees for defunding Planned Parenthood, or repealing Obamacare, or about Benghazi, or to get concealed carry laws passed--wouldn't you think people getting paid the wages they've earned would be important, too?  Wouldn't you think it was the work of the American people?

It would be easy--they could start by lifting that Bible they're so fond of and looking up that part about "Thou shalt not steal" and then skewering the rat prick bastard employers who are screwing working class Americans out of their earned wages.

Of course, that would involve actually working for the American people, and not so much their wealthy benefactors in the business world.

Not that republicans would care, but I'm pretty sure there's something in that Bible of theirs about caring for your fellow man, too.
