i would love to send a letter to the congressmen that are opposed to the minimum hike
if i thought they would actually read it
or even open the letter

i would love for them to understand how goddamn hard it is in this country to survive on minimum wage
to pay rent
and health insurance
and car insurance
and heat and electric
and food and so on

and heaven forbid if you went to college only to find out that you still are going to make minimum wage
45thousand dollars in loans later

i would love for congressmen
and the heirs of millionairs, who have no business being included in the bill,
to know what it is like to try not to cry
at the doctors office
the dentist office
the public health buildings
because there isnt enough money to pay for things
and that being at the mercy of others sucks
and the shame of being poor is more than bitter
im sick to fucking death of having no choice but to elect people
that in the majority have never scrapped for a damn thing in their lives
and have little idea of what the daily lives of their constituents are like
i just want an even playing field
and that isnt coming any day soon
