State of the Union Speech, 2014

“I once was lost but now I’m found.”

Barack Obama, our president, is back.

And let me add:

If Über rich companies like Walmart, McDonalds and others like them paid a living wage to their employees then their employees would not be forced to use food stamps and apply for other governmental services to keep themselves and their families fed and off the street - they could make a living doing their jobs, imagine that, thus saving the government lots of money but oh wait, that cannot happen because it is not politic for the slash and burn politicians to point this out, this being corporate welfare. Instead they make fun of the working poor and cut their benefits because in America, hard work pays off.

Oh, but wait. The working poor have jobs.

Silly me.
