Thanks to BobGeiger.com, I now have a list of Republican Senators who hate the working poor with all their widdle hearts.
These are the 28 Republican Senators who voted FOR legislation that would completely eliminate the Federal Minimum Wage. To do so would mean that each state could set its own minimum wage at whatever level it wanted, or eliminate the concept completely. So we wouldn't even need to worry that businesses which hire illegal immigrants were doing so at a level below the minimum wage, since there'd be no minimum wage to come under. You'd just get paid whatever your boss thought you were owed, even if that meant he gave you magic fucking beans and told you to be thankful for that.
And of course, the two Republicunt Senators from my state, Thad Cochran and Trent Lott, of fucking course these douchebags of the highest order voted FOR this bill. I mean, it isn't like Mississippi isn't currently one of the poorest states in the nation.
For fuck's sake, the people who benefit from the minimum wage aren't criminals or deadbeats. These are people, young and old, married and single, with children and without, who are WORKING to feed themselves and their families. These are people who are actually employed, taking part in the economy and buying their small pieces of the American Dream. These are the same people who can't afford fucking health care, and you want to make sure that employers will now start paying them less? Do you really hate poor people that much? Are you really such a fan of feudalism and no-wage slavery that you want to remove such an important protection from the working poor?
Fuck you, you fat bag of asses. Get a real goddamn job.
