Republicans in several states are lowering the minimum wage — yes, you read that right
While journalists and political junkies are focused on the latest implosion of the GOP effort to repeal Obamacare and gut Medicaid, conservatives in several states have been working to decrease the minimum wage that businesses can pay to their workers.
In Missouri, Republicans just passed a law overturning a local measure passed by the city of St. Louis that had raised the minimum wage to $10 per hour.

Say a mother of two is making 8 bucks an hour. That's around $1280 a month. Say she's single because her husband died and left her without any money. And out of that $1280 is rent and clothes and healthcare.
According to food stamp rules, she would get her income times .3 which would be subtracted from $511 which would come out to less than $130 a month.
There is one problem with that amount. Republicans think it is way too much.
Yea, the heartless bastards think that's way too much. That's today's GOP. They kneel at the alter of the Church of the Heartless Bastard. Far removed from Christ.
Right wingers vote them into office because they believe their lives aren't miserable enough.
And now, they think Putin, of all the evil people in the world, is a "great" leader. Because people in Russia are so happy.
Russia is a mess — the poverty rate is soaring and only 10 of 85 regions are financially stable
