if they agree or disagree with her characterization. Get them all on the record as either supporting a living wage or not. It's so simple. Crystallizes the issue for voters.

and widen the gap between rich and poor while telling idiotic Trumpers that they can become billionaires too if they only worked as hard as Trump.

They want people to be desperately poor and work for less and have fewer benefits. It makes them feel superior. Rising up while stepping on the heads of others.

Not a week, not a month (although seeing the 30 Days episode on that topic is highly informative) but a full year. Then need to see what live really is lie at that wage.

That episode is available on YouTube.

An unlivable wage? Would that be an austere life with no frivolity, hope, art or stimulation,
medical care, heat, food ... where do they draw the line? So they just work until they drop
and then are replaced by the next expendable?

Looks like if it was ultimately up to Handel and ilk, the minimum wage slave laborers of this country should be shot on sight once looking unhealthy now that the GOP is already working to place healthcare out of reach for all but the wealthy. It would be the humane thing to do, after all, than just sentencing them to die of whatever catastrophic disease will slowly, painfully consume them.
She'd look right in place in a Nazi uniform, as my boss, sending me out back to be shot through the head once my productivity numbers fell low.
After all, break it down: not a "livable wage"? In other words: die working scum.

36. Hey Handle do you believe in Eugenics?
Wed Jun 7, 2017, 03:41 PM
Jun 2017

Because your ilk support in some form or another the process of breeding support some measure of it.


On page 318, Handle, in the Book White Trash, The 400 Hundred Year Untold History of Class in America by Nancy Isenberg , she states and I just wonder there Handle since you like to attack people on the choice of privacy. do you believe this statement?


"The poor can starve "a little" by Charlotte Hays, and there are surely others who feel the same way. The innocuous sounding term "fertility treatment" enables the wealthy to breed there own kind, buying sperm and eggs at "baby centers" around the country. Abortion and birth control, meanwhile, are for evangelical conservatives a violation of God's will that all people should be fruitful and multiply, and yet this same fear of unnatural methods of reproduction does not engender opposition to fertility clinics. Antiabortionists activists, like eugenics, think that a state has the right to intervene in breeding habits of poor single woman."


Do you believe this Handle?

Just asking............................

like a MW. Same BS that Ronnie spewed and every Puke after him. Yup according to R's MW increases are ALWAYS going to be inflation waiting to happen and will tank the economy.

Bill Clinton did one or two,raised taxes on the rich and the economy went beserk. Balanced budget with 300B left for Bush.IDIOT to squander. But Republicans love to play like they know economics.

When I say "these people" I mean both Handel and the voters.

What kind of cast iron bitch has the gall to say this? This is like saying you don't believe in America and apple 🍎 pie.

And what kind of voters would vote for someone that says this?

It baffles me that anyone would think that is just fine to be paid a sub-living wage for full time work. They, in effect, are saying that they want these people to be on government benefits. Except they would also like to eliminate those.

We have this many amoral sociopaths in this world?

Dear god, we are surely lost as a nation.
