4. It galls me that they blame Obama

for worker poverty - when we know corporations would rather pay vultures like RMoney huge bonuses than pay their actual WORKERS ( as in, they WORK ) a living wage.

How is this Obama's fault?

Most Americans would rather make a decent living than be on any kind of assistance. It's not a good feeling to have to accept help. But we are held hostage to the need for assistance by Greedy CORPORATIONS who want wage slaves.

Most Americans on assistance ( who aren't elderly, disabled or children ) are caught between a rock and a hard place.

Pride won't feed your kids. Crap jobs won't feed your kids. A living wage would feed your kids, but Repukes don't even want the hard workers of America to have a living wage at the same time they excoriate the hard worker for wanting to EAT and FEED their kids.

Fuck Rmoney and kudos to Soledad.
