AMERICANS WILL KEEP EARNING PEANUTS IF THE REPUBLICANS AND DAVID GARRISON GET THEIR WAY

Wisely for a long time now i've always distanced myself from the two political extremes, from all the right wingers who cavort on the internet as conservatives, and from the left wingers who wager five bucks each way but never pay up in a metaphorical sense when they lose a bet, in other words, when you beat them in an argument.

Twitter is a playground for people fitting that description, a discussion on there which i had today with a hardcore life member of the Republican Party who resides in California really re-inforced my view that the lines seperating left and right, Marxism and capitalism and the dogmas underpinning the two big political parties is becoming murkier by the year, even if partisan puppeteers like David Garrison dont realise it.

If the dogmatic and fundamentalist attitude of David Garrison is anything to go by with what americans can expect from a Tea Party stoked and infiltrated Republican president post Obama, in regards to the Grand Old Party's 'knock it down' ideology to stop Obama from trying to increase award wages and salaries of working class americans, then i must admit my own ideology will be challenged and i might lean left towards Obama's potential successor than a republican presidential candidate who will allow americans to continue working for a base wage of $7.25 hr while his party builds a war chest of tax to pay for the next multi-billion dollar election campaign and knowing the Republicans, to fund another war in a far away land.

We are living in the 21st century, and yet americans are still working for what most people in other parts of the western world would regard as slave labour rates, to my knowledge and observation the award wage for americans is $7.25hr, less again for waiters and hospitality workers, who barely earn $5 an hour without tips.

This is what David Garrison, who has exactly the same belief system as literally thousands of Republican supporters do, thinks is fair. He is livid with Obama and the Democrats for pushing a legislative agenda to increase award wages in the US, knowing that it will be defeated in any case seeing that the Republicans hold the majority in Congress. There was a meanness and sublime nastiness to what he tweeted me today which gives me the impression that americans wont crack $10hr until the Dems control both houses in D.C.
