Democrats have created the Minimum Wage law and the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act to help the disenfranchised and the poor. Today, because of Republicans (and frankly their hatred of the poor) the minimum wage is $3,000 less than the poverty line and it hasn't been increased since 2009. Democrats hoped with the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act that the African-Americans and other ethnic groups could get past discrimination and vote to elect some of their own representatives for government. Now the Supreme Court Conservatives (what are they conserving) have gutted the Voting Rights Act provision which lets the federal government regulate voting laws & practices in states where discrimination at the polling place has been prevalent.
Chief Justice John Roberts can say the law is out of step with the times, but can he really claim ignorance that today's Republicans in Congress won't create new legislation to deal with the issue.
It seems clear the Conservative Republican Absurdity Parade (CRAP) is destroying America even as the American people twice elected an African-American to be president and have become more and more open to homosexuals and are moving on past the racism of the past. Do the Republicans believe they can turn back the clock? Do they think we will ignore their efforts to impose terrible voting laws in their states? Do they think America will stand still for their CRAP?
Turn your back on that Parade and yell to your member of Congress to move America forward, not back.
