Minnesota House passes minimum wage cut

You can count on the House to look after their constituents, or Corporate Sponsors.

Minnesota House passes minimum wage cut for tipped workers — including 8,000 women over 30

But state Rep. Tim Mahoney (D) suggested that the measure was an attack on 8,000 women over 30 who had children and worked for tips.

“The message from this bill is that you’re making too much money,” he explained. “It wants to keep people making $12 per hour rather than making $14 or $15 an hour. If you tried living on $30,000 per year in this state, you’d understand that a couple of thousand dollars per year makes a huge difference.”

Another provision in the bill, would ban local municipalities and airports from raising the minimum wage above the state minimum wage.

How's that for responsive government?

You get what you vote for. If you don't make over $100K/yr, you shouldn't be voting for Republicans.

Your income doesn't matter when it comes to party...both pander to all income levels in some way, neither serves anyone who doesn't make enough to make considerable campaign contributions. Democrats try to playcate their poor with welfare....republicans give boot strappy pep talks that appeal to those so out of touch with reality they actually think it's 1776 and that hard working middle class M'uricans have a say so in SHIT.

Democrats have zero problem fucking poor people over when there is something in it for them.

It's all about what part of what industry you work in vs what zip code you have at the end of your address....it's all about the MONEY.

All that other bullshit? Those are just the lies used to keep the lemmings hopeful one both sides..HOPE!....CHANGE!! LOL bullshit.
