... the necessities.

Of course, that won't happen because the GOP wants to keep the electorate angry about the cost of living. They do this by lying to the very voters they depend on by not raising the minimum wage.

They DON'T care if you struggle to survive as long as you stay angry and vote against your own best interest because you listen to the lying bullshit they feed you on right-wing mainstream media. Starting with FOX.
