Here's an idea.
The Radical Right is always whining about "entitlements" and "welfare". The ridiculously low minimum wage in this country is nothing but "welfare" for businesses. Let's frame it that way.

3. Also, the Right is always complaining about illegal aliens so if we paid
living wages people in the US would be able to take all the jobs. Business wants illegals so they can get cheap labor and that's the dirty little secret.

4. I'm wondering how long that "Minuteman" operation
will be allowed to continue. The users of cheap, illegal immigrant labor in that area gotta be hatin' it by now.

5. Not to mention how..
