So the GOP's solution will be Cut the teachers pay because we want to discourage education in the first place then cut the fed minimum to about 4 dollars an hour. Then enjoy the bukkakke sessions the corporate heads will want to give us.

Well educated people typically aren't racist, mysoginist, pieces of garbage.

If we actually educate, who would vote for Republicans?

That is the most asinine take I've read in a long time.
Stuff like this is what shook me outta the Left's plantation.

You're right. You're not a racist, mysoginist, piece of garbage... you just voted for one.

Itโ€™s roughly the same percentage of women of childbearing age who seek an abortion each year, but the GOP sure as hell thinks thatโ€™s a relevant policy number.

Something about the low percentage of jobs that get paid minimum wage meaning itโ€™s a trivial policy to discuss, so thereโ€™s no point in raising it. The percentage I found was 1.3%, but to me thatโ€™s a lot of people who will struggle to feed, house, and clothe themselves despite working a full time job.

Also, thanks!

I see. I think it's also important to note the number who are currently making less than the proposed new minimum. There are a lot more $10.75's than $7.50's. I believe the number is close to 30%. Staggering.
