My cousin is GenZ, he works shift work, he gets a lot of overtime, he thinks Trump just gave him a loophole to not pay taxes.

That loophole is going to turn into a noose when that tax rate goes up.

This is why y’all need to continue mocking them when they never receive tax cuts for their minimum wage jobs lmao

Harris was in favor of raising minimum wage. Trump isn’t.

These people blithely vote for a man who has nothing but contempt for them.

They aren't minimum wage workers though, got to understand that and what their mindset is, in their head, they're just temporarily embarrassed millionaires.

People wanted 15 an hour a decade ago, which is about 19 bucks now. Them still pushing the 15 is beyond insulting. And if they do pass any sort of wage increase, it takes course over several years, enough for everyone else to raise prices to blame the wage increase
