We're getting screwed, blued, and tattooed |
If you're not a republican, there's nothing quite like facts to underscore just how badly working-class Americans are getting fucked. At a time when five oil executives have cashed out their shares to the tune of $99 million and profited from the death and destruction Vladimir Putin has unleased on Ukraine, a new report shows that almost a third of American workers (51.9 million people) make less than $15 an hour.
Now I know that the curtsy queen, Kyrsten Sinema, thinks $15 an hour leads to the lush life, but in the real world it comes to $31,200 a year, IF someone works full-time. It also leaves workers in fifteen states and the District of Columbia below the federal poverty line, and God only knows how many of us poor bastards are still working for the paltry $7.25 an hour that republicans have decided is good money for an hour's work.
Two more U.S. Senators elected this fall would go a long way toward changing the pitiful state of the minimum wage in America and is just one more reason to vote in full force this November.
Republican = Traitor
