In The GOP Run Economy A Max Wage Would Be Around $12 An Hour

If you look at the trend in the economy and what the GOP is doing with labor and employment a good wage is the $12 and hour number. A vast number of workers will end up at under $10 an hour if trends continue. If you look at the average wage we are nearly there now.

It is obvious that American business feels it must reduce wages because they cannot compete without wage parity. Their actions show that. And the disaster in Michigan is just the beginning of an all out assault working classes nationally. The GOP is bitter about losing and is intent on revenge.

In the future you can count on even more draconian attempts to keep people from voting who are NOT Republicans. And you can count on an even aggressive war on women.

They may be quiet but they are hiding like a snake in the grass.

Imagine trying to pay your rent, utilities, and grocery bill with that amount. It's not a living wage. Not at all.
