LOTS of "conservatives" - including many large corporations, have been lobbying the government for decades for low wages.

I agree - that is equal, with inflation and CPI, to what I made in TN when I was 19 years old doing unskilled labor.

But the USA isn't about We The People. It's about "Citizens United and the Corporations". Luckily, the newest batch of very large corporations are at least semi-enlightened (comparatively).

Amazon is ending all bonuses.

Totally agree. Men used to be able to pay their mortgage and support their wife and two kids on an unskilled labor salary. In 2018, you can't even support yourself on an unskilled laborer salary.

Its quite obvious. Amazon wishes the state to hike min. wage for all employers. That is not free market.


"lobbying the government for low wages" - huh?

Based on your intimate knowledge of all employers and employees?

You really don't know???

That "conservatives" have refused, due to lobbying, to increase wages? That the same "conservatives" have created entire issues singlehandedly such as the "death tax" issue? That one was made up by the Waltons, BTW.

Some "conservative" states have even tried to outlaw a city or county within them setting a higher minimum wage...

I'm not here to educate you. If you don't know this stuff, you've been following the wrong news sources for decades.....

Here are the Koch Brothers (they own these orgs) on min wage:
Compassion Means Rejecting The Minimum Wage | FreedomWorks

Here is another org they own - AFP and a list of actions they have taken:
A History of Opposition to Raising the Minimum Wage | Real Koch Facts

Short and sweet - corporate money and the GOP have kept the minimum wage incredibly low - they were not even willing to index it with inflation!

They treat their employees like ****:

They have a corporate structure that destroys their businesses and funnels money away from the workers and to the managers (not the people who operate the company).

Rather than supporting worker cooperatives and worker freedoms you 'liberals' praise Bezos as a great guy (same guy who works with Pentagon to kill children).

You are not leftist, you are far right goons slightly to the left of republicans.

But he's a "Mr. Mom" who does the cooking at home.
