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.

Although there are many (disgusting) truths being reported in the article, I'm afraid the critical masses that need to know this aren't gonna see it. Those that read the article knew those things already for a long time.

I bet everything I have that fox & friends wont mention even one piece of this critical information in their programs. And that is really sad.

I just cannot fathom how it can be legal to spread rumors and misinformation as "facts" like all those right-wing mediae do. Fucking fascists.

You'd have to be an idiot to be working class and vote Trump. Especially if you're union and vote Trump. There's Chickens for Colonel Sanders for you...

We do have a lot of these idiots in this country.
