For clarity, it raises the federal wage cap for all employees not just his or congress.

For context: every other pay scale in the government is tied to the pay of Congress. If they don’t get a raise, the rest of the gov doesn’t.

2/2 and he thinks to himself, "you poor, stupid motherf*ckers, he's not helping you, he's helping rich people like ME". Paraphrasing ofc.
imniceronreddit
Almost no one votes Republican for any of those reasons.
fearinyou
Don't bother explaining, over half the people on here are in school and have zero experience, or live with their parents still.
TigerThong
thats the only reason to vote Republican. abortion isn't going anywhere, they aren't fiscally conservative, aren't for small gov.
whatwhatwhonow
TheRelevancyOfMyNameIsRelativelyIrrelevant
republicans will never admit that reason, but all of their policies will be aimed directly at those things.

When I think of min wage I think inflation should be taken care of first, otherwise all that work to get it signed in goes to waste.
BananaBodyWrexker
People who make 7.25 and hour can’t send any money to his PAC; hence, they don’t exist for Moscow Mitch.
IdontDoThisForFun
Maybe learn something that costs more 7.25 per hour. Don't be fucking lazy and unmotivated

BananaBodyWrexker
Found the troll. Go back to mythologizing this ‘glorious USA’ where everyone gets the ‘opportunity’ if they’d only ‘work.’
IdontDoThisForFun
No matter how angry you get, you anger is not going to change the laws of economy which are based on math ;)
BananaBodyWrexker
No anger here. simply pointing out your lack of empathy and that it is pretty endemic in our society and coded with your talking points.
IdontDoThisForFun
Laws don't care about feelings. I didn't create those laws. Economy will collapse if you start manually adjusting it. It's way too complex
IdontDoThisForFun
Economy doesn't care about empathy. Math doesn't care about empathy. You can't pour from empty bucket unless you steal from people who have.
ButterCremeDoxy
let's be intellectually honest, Dems voted also 2 raise their pay. I'm no mcconnell fan, but let's acknowledge the prob is both sides..
herejusttopointouterrors
let's be honest, your attempt at trying to sound intellectual is a fail.
surroundedbytwits
BS False equivalency. The damage Moscow Turtle has done to this country and corruption he and his wife have with China is off the charts.
fartulence
Whoa, that’s not the problem. The problem is voting AGAINST raising American wages while giving yourself a raise on their dollar. So, no.
TigerThong
your ignoring half the post
cosmicbovine
Dems want to raise the minimum wage, tax the rich and fund social programs. Repubs ONLY push policies that benefit the rich. BOTH SIDES hurr
TongueTiedLabourerfromtheLandoftheLittlePeople
311WasAnInsideJob
We gotta look and compare who voted to both raise theirs and keep min. wage the same. The people that did both are the asshats. He did.
three25air
Just him, huh? Not a single dem did? You’re living in denial, buddy
Camelspotting
In the most recent bill 6 Dems opposed and 3 GOP supported. That's pretty overwhelming.
311WasAnInsideJob
Not denial, I’m sure some did. I’m not wasting my time looking that shit up. I was simply pointing out your “whataboutism” is fucking stupid
311WasAnInsideJob
And if you look again, I never claimed dems didn’t vote that way either. But no other human’s actions excuse his bullshit.
RadicalLeftist
Lets compare the two. Healthcare is more expensive for the country and individuals pay $5000/yr. Dems want it fixed, republicans dont. 1
three25air
You mean the dem’s affordable care act didn’t work!? The gov fucked it up again!? What!?
RadicalLeftist
Yep. The republicans tried to make it as ineffective as possible and it has still worked well. Actually look into outcomes for once
RadicalLeftist
Climate change. 90+% of climate scientists concluded humans are the cause of climate change. Democrats want to reduce emissions. Repubs dont

Economicly. Obama go america through the 2009 GFC which was caused by republican deregulation. Blue states perform better then red states

And I'm a high school drop out who first started at min wage, and have improved myself to a point of comfort, on.my.own.

Apparently people don’t want to hear about you winning the rat race. Good for you though.
DubyaSux89
Cool story bro
ButterCremeDoxy
In addition, min wage isn't meant for people to make a living off of. It's a starting point. Ur supposed to improve ur skills from there....
swellerelk
Incorrect. It was started so people could have a minimum income for living.
dontrike
Then why could you live off of minimum wage decades ago?
eigeress
Yeah, because everyone is going to be Bill Gates. Life happens fast and I've met college grads working minimum wage for diff reasons.

How are you supposed to better yourself if you cant support yourself at the "starting point"

HootSloot
No. It was meant to be a living wage, FDR said as much and he would know.
ButterCremeDoxy
Raise min wage, raise cost of living. Then new min wage will afford u same as old min wage. Nothing. Best to improve ur skills 4 higher wage
DarkZalgo
Actually that doesn't seem to happen. My state increased min wage by 50%. Cost of living maybe rose 5-10% tops.
HootSloot
Not really. Wages are a small portion of the price of most goods. 10% wage increase is not a 10% cost of living increase
SpiderDetective
Also has had two different gun control bills on his desk since February which he hasn't touched despite the recent shootings, probably 1/2

He publicly brags about obstruction being his greatest achievements in government. Preventing others from doing anything is his job sadly.

Preventing Democrats from doing anything, you mean. It's what he did during the Obama administration and continues to do it today

because the NRA has paid him NOT to do anything with them 2/2

It’s like conservatives only care about themselves or something
ThickAndMeaty
Yeah, conservatives only care about "themselves".
Camelspotting
Just the Republican leadership, there are few conservative ideas left there.
SirBrendan
I wish that were true. If it were, the rural and poor areas would be out holding general strikes and overthrowing the class system.
RedOvermorrow
You realise how absolutely fucked farmers are by their trade war with china right now, right? And how conservatives are dismantling the-
RedOvermorrow
-education system and making it harder for people in those poor areas get the opportunities to not be poor? They're the ones voting against-
RedOvermorrow
-raising the minimum wage and affordable health care. They're the ones who want to make sure the generational poverty train keeps going.
SirBrendan
I am saying that for a poor and rural region to vote 'conservative', the Red strongholds, it is entirely against their own personal interest

Which has to make you wonder how they expect anybody to believe they care for a fetus.
