People Are SO Fed Up About This Republican Lawmaker’s Comments Against Raising The Minimum Wage


23.

“They don’t want to pay a livable wage, but then they get mad when people need assistance to survive, like Medicaid and food stamps. How do they not realize the cycle they have created? Do you want the guy who can work fast food and do a great job to make a living wage and support himself, or do you want him to not make that and have to apply for government assistance? Or is the truth of it just that you want poor people to die because they aren’t convenient for you to think about?”

“Because guess what — those people are the ones who are doing essential jobs that make your life easier. Look at anywhere with unions. Ever experienced a sanitation strike? The people that you’re hurting with these laws are the ones that you absolutely need for your communities to thrive. It’s like they all share a single brain cell. No one can see the big picture.”
