Tim Ryan Explodes at Republicans on House Floor: ‘Stop Talking About Dr. Seuss and Start Working with Us!’

‘Heaven forbid we tilt the balance that’s been going in the wrong direction for 50 years’

EXCERPT:

RYAN: "Mr. Speaker, one of the earlier speakers said this is the most dramatic change in labor law in 80 years. And I say thank God! In the late seventies, a CEO made 35 times the worker. Today it's 300-400 times the worker. And our friends on the other side running around with their hair on fire. Heaven forbid we pass something that's going to help the damn workers in the United States of America! Heaven forbid we tilt the balance that has been going in the wrong direction for 50 years! We talk about pensions, you complain. We talk about the minimum wage increase, you complain. We talk about giving them the right to organize, you complain. But if we were passing the tax cut here, you'd be all getting in line to vote yes for it. Now stop talking about Dr. Seuss and start working with us on behalf of the American workers. I yield back the balance of my time."
