@DailyCaller@tedcruz Ted Cruz us a fucking liar. He’s pathetic. He’s beyond out of touch. He’s the reason his constituents suffer as he skates off to Mexico during a crisis. He also escalated the Capitol riots. He’s a traitor to America. He’s a fucking joke. He wouldn’t last 5 minutes in real life.
@tedcruz As if lies bother you? You sat back like a bootlicker as Trump dogged your wife and you did nothing as he lied to the American people. Because, you’re as weak and ineffective as they come. Resign, traitor!
@gortega2386@SasquatchLast @MattysCrazyMind @SenSanders Yes, very true. But, hypothetically, if the trend were reversed, we’d have much healthier communities. Of course, that’s not what they want. But, in reality, the prices at McDonalds don’t have to go up at all. It’s already more expensive here than in places with much higher wages
@SasquatchLast @MattysCrazyMind @SenSanders While this is a bit off topic, I agree. It’s crazy how food that is healthy is so expensive, and all the unhealthy food is so cheap. As far as I’m concerned, the price going up at McDonalds wouldn’t hurt anybody. If more people couldn’t afford it there would be less heart attacks
@tedcruz You’re the kind of guy that lets a man disrespect your wife, and then you give him your blind loyalty anyway. You even helped him incite an attempted coup. The only thing, and, I mean the ONLY thing, you have to offer The American people is your resignation. That’s literally it!
@tedcruz Stop pretending you’re a champion for the little guy. Should I remind you of all the legislation you sponsored that was directly against the best interests of the people? How many times has Wall Street lined your pockets, Ted?
@tedcruz Imagine someone who incited a coup attempt calling anyone “radical.” In your view, putting the people first is “radical.” You want more of the same. You want corporate power and endless greed over actually helping the citizens of the USA. We know whose side you’re on. Not ours.
@mavola1@SenSanders You don’t deserve success simply because you own a business. We should support small business. However, that shouldn’t be at the expense of workers in the form of starvation wages. Who’s going to support small businesses when nobody has the money to spend in small businesses?
@bigdw39 @JoshMartin5589 @SenSanders That’s simply false. Everybody can’t live in small towns with cheap rent. For that matter, if everyone tried to do so, the rent would go up substantially in those places. A healthy economy requires balance. The minimum wage was intended to keep that balance in check.
@bigdw39 @JoshMartin5589 @SenSanders Yes, their profits. It’s absurd to suggest that the workers should always be the ones taking the loss. For that matter, historically, the rate of inflation is minimally impacted by increases to the minimum wage.
@bigdw39 @JoshMartin5589 @SenSanders It’s small minded to keep placing the burden on workers instead of expecting employers to pay a living wage at the expense of their profits. If you can’t pay a living wage, your business deserves to fail. Many could easily do so and refuse to. Costs will rise if wages do or not.
@RonnieWakefiel6@wvdave69@SenSanders A federal increase is necessary to ensure a living wage, period. Furthermore, inflation will continue if wages increase or not. Endless inflation and stagnant wages is completely unsustainable. Unless you’re rich and greedy, you’re only working against yourself.
@RonnieWakefiel6@wvdave69@SenSanders Anyone willing to work full time deserves a living wage. That’s what the minimum wage was created for. You’re only advocating to keep all wages low over superficial reasoning.
@mavola1@SenSanders And, you would be incorrect. I both work for a small business and own one in Colorado. Small business doesn’t justify starvation wages.
@mavola1@SenSanders All poor excuses to keep shifting the burden to the workers. Plenty of small businesses do quite well. If your business is unsuccessful, then you need a better product, service, or business model. That’s simply capitalism. That’s a risk you take willingly when starting a business
@Tombasco@lakismith@SenSanders The minimum wage was intended to keep pace with the cost of living to guarantee a living wage. It’s that simple. If your business is unsuccessful, that’s just capitalism and you need a better product, service, or model.
