    The current federal minimum wage is a poverty wage. But @HouseGOP and the Trump Administration are so busy rigging the economy for billionaires, they can’t be bothered to help everyday working families. Our government should work #ForThePeople!https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2018/11/01/president-trumps-top-economic-adviser-calls-federal-minimum-wage-terrible-idea/?utm_term=.91679ef3a382 …

        The problem is a rigged economy for billionaires economic bill will come due. That economic bill will rear it’s ugly head after Trump is out of office, if not before. Trickledown economics has always created huge deficits, and it’s always the little guy that pays for it.

        It is so ridiculous to keep saying Trump’s tax cuts were for billionaires. 80% of Americans got tax breaks, more people got jobs and wages have gone up.

        And yet it’s Democrats, even the rich ones who call to be taxed more because they know how it will benefit the entire country and not just a few families.

        They're welcome to send a check. The IRS doesn't have a rule against paying more. Yet they dont. It's just a virtue signal.

        California is taxing its citizens to death making everyone poor. I wish I could show you photos of homes within Covina in the 80’s vs now. Totally, sad.

        The minimum wage is a beginning wage. You begin your first job, learn a proper work ethic and with SELF determination and SELF reliance, you improve. Race baiting socialists ( YOU ) derive power from keeping folks ignorant and on the plantation. Your power is dying!!!
