Corruption runs deep in the Republican Party it would seem.

And I understand the Republicans in the Senate are going to do everything they can to delay the vote fir the COVID stimulus bill. A lot in that bill actually helps the very people who voted for some of these Republican Senators who want to delay voting on the bill out of spite
Tell me again how the Republicans care about your everyday American? How they are the party that supports the “little guy”.

How we're all paying for corporate dividends by keeping wages low so employees need our tax money to survive. "A 2013 study from researchers at the University of California at Berkeley and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign found that 73% of people receiving government benefits were from "working families" but had "jobs that pay wages so low that their paychecks do not generate enough income to provide for life's basic necessities." The study found that the average frontline fast-food worker earns just $8.69 per hour and that about 87% of them did not receive health benefits, leaving them to "rely on taxpayer-funded safety net programs to make ends meet." The researchers released another report in 2015 showing that more than half of all fast-food workers were in families where at least one member relies on public benefits, costing taxpayers more than $150 billion each year. Part of the problem is that wages have not kept up with growth in productivity and corporate profits for decades, researchers say. Another key issue is that the federal minimum wage, which is far below the rate it was for decades when adjusted for inflation, has stayed the same for over a decade and has been increased just once in the last two decades." www.salon.com/2020/12/12/government-study-shows-taxpayers-are-subsidizing-starvation-wages-at-mcdonalds-walmart/This is exactly what Bernie Sanders has been saying. Wal-Mart is the biggest employer of minimum wage jobs in the country. What they pay workers is not a living wage, their employees need food stamps, housing assistance, medicaid etc just to scrape by. Middle class taxpayers are footing the bill to benefit one of the wealthiest families in America, we're basically subsidizing a rich corporation.

I hope in 4 years voters remember that House Democrats passed the covid relief bill and a voting rights bill while the Republicans voted against them and whined about Dr Seuss. And Ron Johnson might ask the parliamentarian to read the Covid relief bill into the record for no apparent reason. The bill is available to any senator that wants to read it, the reading is completely unnecessary, but he just wants to obstruct everything he can and possibly delay the vote. www.cbsnews.com/news/covid-relief-bill-senate-votes-schumer/

Saying the quiet part out loud again... " “We cannot have early voting,” Bernstein declared. “We should have one day to vote, and no, it should not be off, OK? You either go before work, you either go on your lunch break, or you go after work. That’s it. If you can’t get there in that one day, then it wasn’t important enough for you, and to be quite frank, I don’t want you to vote. If you can’t make it in that one day, stay home.”
Bernstein said that only those in the military or who are sick should be allowed to use mail-in voting, but it should only be available the week before the election. He also called for the Constitution to be amended to outlaw the use of mail-in voting for any other reason.
…
“I’ll admit it,” Bernstein concluded. “I want to make it harder to vote in America, not easier.”"

He seems disconnected from how long mail can take. Of course he also seems disconnected from shift work, transportation issues, and employees who cannot take a long lunch or come to work late...

The lines in some areas are already hours long. Oh and while people are waiting in line it would be a crime to give them a bottle of water,!!

That will never work with the postal service only having a week to get a piece of mail all the way across town. Well, they really don't care!!

Disgusting?! Were they multimillionaires before they were elected to office? Or have they accumulated that wealth while being paid by taxpayers?
Let us find the republican list of millionaires. THAT might be more enlightening!
