| Alas, too little of the important green goes to workers... |
Donald Trump's nominee for Secretary of Labor, Andrew Puzder, withdrew from his nomination yesterday in light of reports saying anywhere from 4 to 12 republican senators would not vote to confirm him. While Liberals and workers' rights groups have rightfully been quick to celebrate this victory (and let's face it, there probably aren't going to be many) as neither Puzder nor Trump are friends of working folks, it's important to note that republicans turned on Puzder not because of his company's (Hardee's and Carl's Jr.) documented records of stealing wages from its workers and sexual harassment, but because of reports of his physically abusing one of his ex-wives and his hiring of an undocumented immigrant to be his housekeeper.
For all the CEOs out there, this means that you can fuck over all your workers as much as you want as long as you don't get caught hiring an illegal or abusing your wife.
For the rest of us, as far as republicans are concerned we can get paid slave wages and our families can starve as long as we keep electing republicans.
Fuck Donald Trump,
