Man Asks Republican to Raise The Minimum Wage, Republican Tells Man “Get a Job!”

The unbelievable encounter happened in Florida when a constituent asked Republican C.W. Bill Young to support a Democratic bill to raise the minimum wage to $10 an hour. The answer from the Republican Representative epitomizes the you’re-nothing-leave-me-alone mentality of today’s Republican to the hardworking middle class.

Mr. Young’s told the man to, “Get a job!”

“Jesse Jackson, Jr. is passing a bill around to increase the minimum wage to 10 bucks an hour,” the man tells Young in a video obtained by FLDemocracy. “Do you support that?”

“Probably not,” Young replies.

“Ten bucks, that would give us a living wage,” the constituent points out.

“How about getting a job?” Young snaps.

“I do have one, $8.50 an hour,” the man insists.

“Why do you want that benefit?” Young grumbles. “Get a job!”

“I do have a job, but it’s not enough to get by on,” the man explains as Young turns away.

I'm just tired of the lies and nonsense coming from the GOP, so this is my little contribution to combat the nonsense!
