They are shameless liars, so it doesn't matter what they say.
The Republican party has a long, dirty history of being nothing but awful to workers, and extremely anti-union.
If you are a working person in the United States and you feel you don't make enough to make ends meet (let alone get ahead), Republicans are 1000% to blame.
Republicans have made sure that the minimum wage is not a livable wage. And this has kept ALL wages down. Republicans have made sure your healthcare is expensive and have fought with all their might to take it away from you entirely.
Republicans are trying to take way your social security, and they made sure that pensions were replaced by the inferior 401k scheme. Republicans made sure credit card interest rates were insanely high. Republicans made sure that banks could charge you money for not having enough money.
Republicans complain about illegal immigrants, but they have 100 percent been behind the system that let corporations use illegal immigrants labor to avoid minimum wage and taxes.
If you have less than $10,000,000, I guarantee you that Republicans are doing everything they can to hurt you economically.
Couldn't have said it better myself.
