We are a nation of sales clerks. The jobs Trumpy Dumpy so gleefully claims to create are poor paying, crappy little jobs no one can support a family on.

We need more than one job cause sales clerk pays practically nothing. Try and work your way through college on one sales clerk job even if it is 40 hours. Try to pay rent, food, clothes and health care (because sales clerks usually don't get healthcare benefits.) on a sales clerk job.

We are all poor now...except maybe for 1 in 100.
