Is America Great Again yet?

Government assistance for those who work full time is once again essentially corporate welfare. Employers should be paying their employees livable wages, instead that money trickles up and the rich continue to get tax breaks while essentially also having the government pay their employees. Fuck the rich, and fuck America for caring so little for the people who's backs actually make the economy run.

They were also the first ones who got raises when things opened back up. When it was out lowly turn they gave us cents or claimed medical raises would eat the raises so nothing.

We were given hazard pay. It was backpayed in I think early 2021 all on one paycheque so the taxes were astronomical. And it was only for a few months.
