They "don't believe in a livable wage".
Their idea of a decent wage is however little your employer wants to fucking pay you.
They want you poor, broke, struggling and living "paycheck-to-paycheck". Hell, they don't even want you living "paycheck-to-paycheck", they want you living "Paycheck-to-Payday Lender" to make ends meet.
As long as you are poor, struggling and desperate enough, you'll kneel at the side of the wealthy folks table, hoping that a crumb or two will fall to you. If that crumb doesn't fall to you, they'll just tell you that someone brown, or foreign got it instead.
Hell, they want you so fucking desperate that you'll even VOTE AGAINST your own self-interest.
If you don't want to work for $12 and hour? Fuck you...they'll hire Cletus, because he is so fucking desperate, he'll just be thankful that he got $8 an hour. Don't complain either, or they'll fucking lock you up in one of their privatized prisons, where they can have you work for $1 a day. Or, they'll send their police out into the poor communities to write so many bogus, nuisance tickets that you'll never get out from under the fines they impose. Land of the Free my fucking ASS!!!!
And don't even fucking think about sending your kids to college so that they can achieve some mythical American Dream. The ReTrumplicans American Dream is that your kids will be so indebted and desperate, they'll take even less for their labor than you do....AND BE DAMN THANKFUL to have it.
Don't worry, they're will always be some poor sap that will willingly take less than you, just so that they can put some pork and beans on the table.
It's not going to get any better either. As much as I would love this to be wrong...this fucking nightmare shrill female Trump is probably going to win that Georgia Congressional District.
Even letting it slip that she doesn't give a fuck about a "livable wage" won't be enough to cut through the Hate Radio, Faux News, Brietbart shit-storm. If you're a Democrat, progressive or liberal, you'd be better off to move to a fucking blue state and let them rot in their race to the bottom.
Considering the orange colored orangutan they saddled the country with, the bottom has been breached!

(2,120 posts)... it literally is the playbook for these motherfuckers. As in LITERALLY. The absolutely evil acts of the soulless, selfish, heartless pricks at the top, who did all they could to subjugate and shit all over the Okies, are being replicated tit for tat these days.
The most frustrating part of the book is where the Okies find solace and civilization in government-run camps where they are treated like humans and their awful oppressors decide those camps HAVE to go because God forbid their prey think of themselves as human beings rather than cattle.
And I agree with you. I know she'll win because Georgia. Republicans aren't winning elections "DESPITE" saying and doing all of this horrible, hateful, merciless stuff. They are winning BECAUSE they are doing this.
I live in a blue state. I will forever reside in a blue state and spend as little time as possible in any red state.
