After the city of Birmingham, Alabama passed a law giving its citizens a $2.85 an hour increase in the minimum wage, republican Alabama Governor Robert Bentley signed a bill prohibiting cities in Alabama from setting their own minimum wage. Unbeknownst to the people of Alabama, while Bentley was taking food out of the mouths of those living in poverty and those living around the corner from it, he was also giving four of his staffers a $70,000+--you read that right, $70,000+--per year raise, or almost an 80% increase.
For fuck's sake, how do these people even manage to get a single vote?
Or sleep at night?
Because you have to be one cold-hearted, cretinous son of a bitch to pull a bullshit stunt like that.
Peace,
