Why does no-one want to work this shitty job?

51. About time. The U.S. Congress wouldn't act and pass a higher federal min. hourly wage rate,

still stuck at an rate set in the 1980s! How pathetic is that?

Consequently, many states are setting higher minimum hourly rates, but a lot of ignorant republican legislators in many states are pushing back, preventing cities, others within the states to mandate a hgher minimum hourly wage rate (we did this in MO, in STL, we set a higher minimum hourly rate to $15 an hour, the state republicans forced the city (and KCMO too) to roll back their rates).

When you go to the ballot box, remember that republicans offered the tired and overused excuse of 'if the hourly rate goes up, everything will cost more!', tell them then why has everything still gone up over the last 30+ years, with no increase in hourly labor rates since the 1980s still?

Baloney as usual, and prices still went up, regardless of a minimum hourly rate that is still stuck at a 1980s rate. Goes to prove that republicans are in league w/ the 1%ers and business owners (and no one else), and besides, if they vote NO on higher wage rates, they'll still get to work at a fancy lobbying job after their legislative stint is over with. A giant conflict of interest.
