Working and poor: GOP once again says SCREW YOU!!! [View All]

[prolesunited]

How can the poor and middle class Republicans possibly believe that their party is for them when they are sticking it to them in absolutely *EVERY* direction.

No minimum wage increase, tightening bankruptcy, no help with controlling insurance premiums or drug coverage...

We are not talking about the so-called lazy welfare bums (just to throw out their own stereotype). We are talking about people who are going to work every day, often more than one job, just to make ends meet. They are just hard-working Americans getting the shaft. They've pulled themselves up by their bootstraps and now their boots have been stolen.

This will be the first generation who will have a LOWER standard of living than their parents. There is something seriously wrong with that.

If you are working, you SHOULD be living above the freakin' poverty level. Outrageous medical costs shouldn't force you into bankruptcy.

They talk a good game about family values, but what do they do to actually support them? They complain that children are left home alone, but that's because the parents have to work two and three jobs between them just to keep a roof over their heads.

It's not that they are not working hard enough, they aren't getting PAID enough!!! :mad:

I have lots of facts and figures to add, but I'm just too angry right now. More in awhile.
