Joy Reid Calls Trump a Monopoly Board Character

‘The federal minimum wage had been stuck at $7.25 cents an hour for 11 years’

RUSH EXCERPT:

REID: “A strange by product of America’s unique version of capitalism was it was built up around work. There is literally no country on Earth that’s as obsessed with work as the U.S. When you meet an American, the first question they ask you is what you do. Work defines us. Those who do the hardest and back breaking work from enslaves, farm hs to mystic figure t-wage workers today. That attitude is called contempt. You heard it from Lindsey Graham. What could be worse than people who works standing on their feet everyday being paid to stay alive at home. The way I am right now, over our dead bodies will they keep those extra pennies and despite the crime by graham and his Monopoly board character Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell. The federal minimum wage had been stuck at $7.25 cents an hour for 11 years. The longest stretch in U.S. history. It is not just the employees are struggling. As Andrew Yang tweeted, instead of praise, most essential workers would prefer a raise. Joining me now, Joe Sandberg, cofounder of aspiration and Andrew zimmer.”
