Its the minimum wage cashiers and entry level people that need raises in my company, I do not have to rely on Govt assistance to meet all my bills, and still have some spending money leftover, more would always be nice, but most of these minimum wage employees can barely pay the basic bills they have, rent, utilities, food, vehicle.
If they need raises, they would have earned it already.

People should work for free.
Would you work for free?

WRONG. It took a bunch of middle class voters for Oklahoma County to vote for a Democrat for Congress for the first time in decades. Also many college students, even in Oklahoma, vote for Democrats.

They are limited by the job positions they hold though. They will never reach the same hourly pay as I have, even if they are the PERFECT employee, who does everything right.

So it is moral to force other people at gunpoint to “give” them money???

There is no at gunpoint. No one points a gun at my head when I pay my taxes

I'm middle class and a democrat, as well as many of my friends and family members. Why would I hate the middle class, I don't get that. Just doesn't sound right or make sense to me, but I guess you have to stick with those old outdated talking points.

I don't live in a big city and I'm middle class. As I said in an earlier post, same goes for most of my friends and family. I don't personally know any ultra poor people, or anyone in my circle on welfare. You need to get out more.

Unpaid overtime is a scam. People work unpaid overtime because they are afraid that they will lose their jobs.

The Democrats should pass this so that they can show everyone who owns the republican party.

Well.... Instead of doing this, they just voted to let illegals have the right to vote. This says who is really important to them.
