7. Adrienne Elrod and people like her are the problem

Consider someone working for $20 an hour. Barely above poverty for a family of four. Not enough to pay for an apartment, a used car, food, and utilities, assuming they can get Medicaid.

Now imagine that guy coming to work and finding out he had been laid off because everyone is laid off, all the subcontractors. They have an entirely new set of subs coming in at 2/3 the price. They found thousands of guys willing to work for less.

That's what Harris did, 10.2 million, most of whom were new low wage workers. Adrienne Elrod was there the whole time, "communicating" how great things are. And now Adrienne Elrod says it's time to turn over a new leaf and win back those working class people she just screwed over.

It's time to tax the living bejesus out of people like Adrienne Elrod. Let her find a different hobby. Go back to being the Country Club Republican she used to be.
