For those that have said to me, "no one wants to repeal minimum wage" how much more proof do you need? Keep voting for the Reich and we will be down to pre-1950 wages and pre-1930 working conditions.
I can guarantee this will be in the Reich's platform for 2014 and 2016!!
At a Meet & Greet in Bettendorf, Iowa, Republican Senate candidate Sam Clovis said that he doesn’t think the government should set a minimum wage except in the few areas where employers have monopolistic control.
After an audience member said in reference to the minimum wage, “The U.S. government has got no right to dictate to any business owner what they pay their employees,” Clovis responded, “Exactly.”
He went on to explain, “I don’t think the U.S. government should talk about minimum wage. Because every time you raise the minimum wage, you increase unemployment.” He said he does support a starting wage for those who work in an area where employers “could collude and offer lower wages,” but “not in cities, not where you have competition for workers.” He also called the minimum wage “a form of taxation.”
Meanwhile, he claimed that just 1.2 percent of the workforce works for minimum wage and that the majority are “men 16 to 25 who live at home.” He also claimed, “Not a single worker I know of in the city of Sioux City that works for minimum wage. Not a single one.”

Welcome to H&C,,, where I aggregate news of interest. Primary topics include abuse with "the church", LGBTQI+ issues, cults - including anti-vaxxers, and the Dominionist and Theocratic movements. Also of concern is the anti-science movement with interest in those that promote garbage like homeopathy, chiropractic and the like. I am an atheist and anti-theist who believes religious mythos must be die and a strong supporter of SOCAS.
