    Our federal minimum wage is a poverty wage – Americans shouldn’t have to work 2 or 3 jobs to afford the basics like health care and groceries. @HouseDemocrats are fighting for good-paying, union jobs #ForThePeople. #FightFor15https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/kzjpya/this-is-what-living-on-minimum-wage-looks-like-v25n3?utm_source=vicetwitterus …

        Again Barbara, with all of this going on, how can this country sponsor the Caravan the Dems are fighting to let across the borders? So much work to do here first especially for African Americans.

        Stop enticing illegal immigrants, who cause lower wages, by offering them sanctuary cities, free healthcare benefits, and college tuition 😉

        Eisenhower (R) won reelection & yes I remember state universities virtually tuition-free & world just seemed generally prosperous, w only my dad having to work to maintain middle-class family of 5--top marginal tax rate of 91% meant rich were paying in instead of being parasites

        Either paying in or putting profits back into their businesses, creating jobs to avoid the tax -- stashing it offshore was illegal and something only freeloading #Scumbags with #NoConscience would do, back when there were actually laws & stuff

        So, why are we importing hundreds of thousands of low skilled people from the Third World? Doesn't that suppress the wages of working poor Americans?

        This is like 10 years old. Really? Minimum wage is supposed to be enough for healthcare and groceries? What? When I was 16 I made minimum wage. Didn't expect to pay for healthcare and groceries! And saying you're fighting for union jobs. Hilarious. Dems and Nafta sent jobs out!

        Stop taxing the hell out of us. Tax for everything in as soon as we enter poverty ridden liberal run cities. Why? What are you doing with the money? Why would you rather help Illegal immigration, over our poor, our minorities, our veterans, and our homeless? I give all I can! You
