11. We're dependent on our minimum wage fellow Americans

Not only do we depend on them but the work involved is anything but a picnic. And now the workers get reminded how little concern there is for them, and their efforts, by a large portion of the country and basically the entire Republican party.

It's an entitlement. The Republicans, and The Chamber of Commerce, and the tax dodging 1%, and the "I've got mine, to hell with everybody else" crowd, feel entitled to benefiting from an impoverished work force that has no redress for their unfair situation.
