Cost-of-living Crisis...
Do you politicians even know this crisis exists?
Do you care?
We have a crisis in this country, including here in Minnesota, confronting working class families that you politicians refuse to acknowledge.
This is a "cost-of-living crisis."
In all the millions of words in dozens of newspapers across Minnesota in which stories have been published about this Minimum Wage issue now confronting our state and the country, not once have I read where one single Democrat or Republican has acknowledged this "cost-of-living crisis" which every single working class family now confronts on a daily basis.
How is it possible for these politicians to be so out of touch with this reality of life for so many hundreds of thousands of people right here in our own state?
And, still, the Minimum Wage hasn't been raised one plug nickle by this Minnesota Democratic Farmer-Labor Party with its super-majority... must be none of you politicians have to worry about making ends meet from pay check-to-pay check, eh?
How is it possible that not one single Democrat from among this super-majority has the common human or moral decency to suggest that the Minimum Wage should be established in line with the actual cost-of-living?

Don't come asking me for campaign contributions, nor for my vote.
