#all because mitch mcfuckface and his other republican cohorts are the WORST people on the planet

This is the hell Americans are living in: the senate took 9 MONTHS to decide whether or not to give us more money during this pandemic. They finally decided to give every American $600. 

Once. 

Not monthly, not for several weeks. 

Once. 

Our minimum wage is $15. 

That means they’re giving us one paycheck that is equal to a 40 hour a week work week at minimum wage. 

J U S T     O N C E

Took them 9 FUCKING months of raking in a senator’s fucking salary of cash into their pockets piddling and poking and getting tax breaks for themselves. 

And this is what they give us. 

THEY MAKE $174,000 PER YEAR. 

That means:

Biweekly salary of $174,000 a year is $6,692 per 2 weeks Weekly salary of $174,000 a year is $3,346 per week Daily salary of $174,000 a year is $669 per day Hourly salary of $174,000 a year is $89.23 per hour

That means that in the 9 months they refused to give anyone money through this pandemic, have let people die and encouraged people to go out and get infected, they have made $120,456 EACH. 

AND THEY WANT TO GIVE US $600. 

ONCE.
