republicans in Congress are the BIGGEST assholes in the world.

[Bouncy Ball]

"While Democrats sought only an increase in the minimum wage with their proposal, Republicans expanded theirs to include business regulatory relief as well as tax breaks totaling $4.2 billion, most of it directed toward the restaurant industry.

Forty-one Democrats, four Republicans and one independent voted for the Democratic proposal (ro raise minimum wage). All the votes in opposition were cast by Republicans.

All 38 votes in favor of the GOP proposal were cast by Republicans. Opposed were 43 Democrats, one independent and 17 Republicans."

SEE what the repukes care about? They care about giving BUSINESSES MORE TAX RELIEF. Businesses already pay incredibly low taxes. TAX BREAKS TOTALLING $4.2 BILLION. Regular everday people working their hump off to feed their families? Fuck 'em. That's the republican message.

Make hay out of this, people. Tell every person you know making minimum wage, or every person you THINK is barely making it that EVERY REPUBLICAN IN THE SENATE VOTED AGAINST RAISING THEIR PAY.

Tell them.

Yeah. Any lurking right wingers reading this who get by from paycheck to paycheck, your party will NEVER vote for you. They will NEVER, EVER care that you barely get by. They DON'T care about you. I have a party in which every single member in Congress voted to RAISE YOUR PAY. But your party gave you a great big "fuck you." And believe me, that isn't the first time they've done it, either.

The federal minimum wage is a CRYING SHAME and you cannot support yourself, much less a family on it. It requires you to have two and three jobs and in an economy where it can be hard to find ONE job, we have too many Americans falling through the cracks and

REPUBLICANS DO NOT CARE.

My parents always told me, you want to know the true measure of a person, you look at their actions, not their words. This is a wonderful example of why I have NEVER voted republican and as long as they resemble the party they are today, I NEVER WILL. Ever.

Tell everyone you know who makes min. wage or who you THINK is making min wage. Everyone you know who is barely making it. I don't care if they vote or not, TELL THEM that republicans voted against raising their pay AGAIN.
