Some Capitol Hill Republican lectured that not all wages are designed to be livable. It would have been great if one of his colleagues had said, Many wages are designed to cheat workers.

For the Christian advocating tax breaks for the rich and overlooking when people aren't paid livable wages, remember this Bible verse:

"Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty." James 5:4

Mark Cuban was "embarrassed" his staff needed Medicaid & gave raises. He says taxpayers subsidize low-wage companies. With new bills cutting Medicaid, 1Party highlights the hypocrisy: Want people off assistance? Encourage livable wages, don't cut benefits!

“You know what that means when they pay you minimum wage? You know what they’re trying to tell you? It’s like, ‘Hey, if I could pay you less, I would. But it’s against the law.’”

— Chris Rock,
“Born Suspect” album (1991)
