MEMBERS OF CONGRESS FROM STATES WHERE HIGH POVERTY IS THE NORM, BUT STILL THINK PAYING THEIR DEBTS IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE AMERICAN TAXPAYER.

NOTICE THE STATES THAT ARE REPRESENTED BY THESE HYPOCRITICAL FASCISTS.

I GUESS NOT REPAYING YOUR DEBTS, AND HAVING THE AMERICAN TAXPAYER FOOT THE BILL, WOULD BE OK IF YOUR STATE WAS ECONOMICALLY PROSPEROUS.

U.S. RANK IN % OF RESIDENT POPULATION LIVING IN POVERTY. (50 STATES)

LOUISIANA- 49th

WEST VIRGINIA- 47th

KENTUCKY- 46th

OKLAHOMA- 43rd

SOUTH CAROLINA- 41st

GEORGIA- 38th

TEXAS- 35th

MISSOURI- 33rd

FLORIDA- 31st

INDIANA- 30th

PENNSYLVANIA- 24th

AS YOU CAN SEE, MEMBERS OF CONGRESS FROM 10 OF THE TOP 20 STATES WITH THE HIGHEST POVERTY RATES GOT TO CANCEL THE REPAYMENT OF THEIR PPP LOANS. THAT MEANS THE AMERICAN TAXPAYER FOOTS THE BILL.

HOW EASY DO THEY MAKE IT FOR LOW-INCOME INDIVIDUALS TO CLIMB OUT OF POVERTY? MINIMUM WAGE FOR THE FOLLOWING STATES...

OKLAHOMA

KENTUCKY

SOUTH CAROLINA

GEORGIA

TEXAS

LOUISIANA

INDIANA

PENNSYLVANIA.

...IS AT THE FEDERAL MINIMUM- 7.25hr.

6 OF THESE ARE AMONG THE TOP 15 STATES WITH THE HIGHEST POVERTY LEVELS.

ONLY 1 STATE, PENNSYLVANIA, HAS A FEDERAL MINIMUM WAGE AND IS NOT IN THE TOP HALF OF STATES WITH THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF POVERTY. (24th)

WEST VIRGINIAS MINIMUM IS AT 8.75hr.

MISSOURI- 11.15/hr

FLORIDA- 11.00/hr

AS YOU CAN SEE THE 2 STATES WITH MINIMUM WAGE AT OR ABOVE 11.00/hr HAVE LOWER POVERTY RATES THAN ANY OF THE OTHER STATES ON THIS LIST EXCEPT INDIANA AND PENNSYLVANIA.

SO DO YOU THINK THAT THE AMERICAN TAXPAYER SHOULD BE BAILING OUT MEMBERS OF CONGRESS FROM STATES WHO DON'T SEEM TO CARE ABOUT THE FINANCIAL WELL-BEING OF THEIR OWN CONSTITUENTS, BY CANCELING REPAYMENT OF PPP LOANS?

PICTURES OF WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO THE FASCIST PARTY OF AMERICA, (FORMERLY THE GOP).

 

MSNBC. Sen. Whitehouse tells the truth about GOP’s anti-‘woke’ smoke screen.

 

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, a Rhode Island Democrat, just gave a perfect summary of what Republicans hope to achieve with their misuse of the term “woke.”

By Ja'han Jones

It’s no secret that the conservative movement’s attack on “wokeness,” their appropriated misnomer for virtually any awareness of social inequality, is contrived. 

Anyone surprised that the Republican Party would try to repurpose Black slang meant to denote intellect and cultural consciousness into something nefarious clearly hasn’t spent much time watching the GOP in action. 

Personally, I’ve found comedy in the fact that white conservatives embraced the term years after it seemed to have reached its zenith in the Black lexicon. As many Black people can tell you, “woke” was dying as a relevant cultural term long before white conservatives came along. And even now, Republicans use the term to describe such a broad range of subjects that it’s essentially useless as anything but a dog whistle telling conservatives not to like something. 

I thought Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., described this tactic beautifully Wednesday when he referred to it as a “smoke screen” used by Republicans when they want to slash funding.

“From behind this new catchphrase, Republicans want workers and families to line up behind the tax cheaters, behind the polluters, behind the campaign donors, behind the well-connected and the well-off whom they serve,” Whitehouse said.

He added: “Well, their problem is, you can say ‘woke’ for a while, but then people will notice that they no longer have disability benefits, or that they can’t afford their prescription drugs, or that huge corporations are paying nothing in taxes. The ‘woke screen’ is a smoke screen and people need to see through it.”

While we’re on the topic of Black colloquialisms, I have another to describe the senator’s remarks: “BARS!”

(I can’t wait to see what Republicans do with that one.)

HYPOCRISY REIGNS SUPREME WITH THE FASCIST PARTY OF AMERICA.

My mistake. I should have said that only the Wealthiest Americans are allowed to avoid paying their debts,(ie,. Trump), ALONG WITH THEIR CORRUPT MINIONS IN CONGRESS.
