ALEC, The Kochs, GOP, US Chamber Et Al Want To Crush Higher Wage Movement.
The economic powers that be view wages demanded by the higher minimum wage movement as "extreme" and are working to crush the movement like OWS was crushed. Workers must realize that they are fighting the of a lifetime. The problem is that the media supports the status quo and even worse. The new militarized police forces are their enforcers.
Wages are still dropping for most workers. When you see airlines outsourcing jobs that pay $15.00 and hour for lower wages where even $10 and hour is considered to much it is obvious what "competing with the global economy" means. Now the GOP is blaming Obama for the low wages and poverty that they are creating. And the media will be sure to help them blame Obama for ALL the things they are doing.. They will be sure to blame Obama for "signing" the SSDI cuts they voted for.
The problem is that a lot of voters WILL fall for these lies that will be repeated 24/7. Look at what happened in 2014.
