On the rare occasions when successful voter initiatives actually reduce government power or spending, the Political Left instantly goes to court to challenge the language, and the Deep State instantly finds clever ways to avoid enforcing it.
Here in Washington state, I really enjoy our initiatives.
We have several politically active wealthy Conservatives who dream up something every election that puts the Political Left on total TILT!
Obviously, no Conservative initiative can win a state wide majority here, but the Left Side hysteria is the best show on TV for a couple months.
The Republican Party needs to be more of a nationalist party and not just a party of 8 million users of cheap labor at any political price. Grow up my fellow Republicans, it's big world out there.
So now Amazon is a small business?
The basic problem is that all those people are unskilled laborers. Whose fault is that?
The right for flooding the USA with LEGAL immigration.
Both parties have been flooding the US with both legal and illegal immigration, and it doesn’t just impact unskilled workers.
Again, try paying your plumber minimum wage and get back to us.
If you develop a marketable skill, you can market it at market rates. If you don’t have any marketable skills, you need politicians to set your rates and you are screwed because the people paying your salary will always buy off the politicians to keep your rate low.
Average Plumber Hourly Pay = $21.11
That is not great money.
That is $42k per year, and it is important to remember like so many others of your political persuasion you fail to consider that wages grow over time. You are no doubt including plumber’s helpers to get that number. The going rate is more like 40 to 80 per hour.
Plus $21 per hour is more almost all of the minimum wage proposals out there.
