19 to go

In the last few days a very disturbing pattern has emerged, or at least at last the media is focusing on it. Many Republican Tea party candidates are coming out against a Federal minimum wage. At 7.25 per hour, a full time worker will earn 290 dollars a week. Wow, they're rich. So rich that the party of the rich wants to eliminate the safety net for the poor. An absolutely unfathomable and ridiculous notion if I ever heard one. No amount of spin about businesses being restrained due to the minimum wage or other such economic nonsense can mask the fact that the Republican party cares not one iota for the middle class. They care about wealth, supporting a system where the wages of the middle class have been stagnant for 30 years and the disparity between rich and poor is at the widest level since 1929. Remember what happened back then? 19 days to awaken to this sad but true reality: the Republican party is bad for America in its current form and the trend toward the right is scary. Where are you Americans for reason and truth?
