Looks like our 'very inept Congress' has done it again! You know, it is not necessary to find a way to benefit the rich every time the poor 'might' get a break! I'm sure they can raise the wage without doing that. Those folks in Congress were already wealthy before they went to Congress, and voted themselves several raises in recent years.
I think Congressional members should be required to live on minimum wage for several months, (and not cheat) and see what that is like. Then maybe they would see that it's almost impossible! I really hope that none of them get an hour of sleep until it changes. It's disgusting to think that the people we have working "for us" have the life of luxury, while millions of folks make less than fifteen thousand a year! What's wrong with those morons? I think the next time I hear another one of those yahoo's say they are a public servant I'm going to throw up, hopefully all over him, or her.
Voting down the wage is an utterly total slap in the face to the poor in this country. We now know what our "supposed" representatives think of us. In other words they just said "F--k you and spit in your face. It's time to clean house in the Congress, and get these silver-spooned arrogant SOB's out of there! OK?? So get out there and vote!
Alright, I feel a tiny bit better, now that I've blown off a little steam. I believe that 'We The People' can change things, let me know what you think. Is it possible? That's all for now. Happy blogging! Thanks, Beau.
