This is the stuff I think of whenever someone says "America is the land of the free".

We're really not. We're the land of working paycheck-to-paycheck. It's been eight years since we learned that 40,000,000 people can't afford a sudden $400 expense.

It's a shame. This is what's going to get a legit fascist elected in November.

That means you would need a $9.61 per hour raise @40 hours a week, 52 weeks a year to get $20,000 before taxes.
