1 It's beyond me how the party of compassion and caring can hope to help a minimum wage couple raising a family where it takes both parents to eke out an existence (due to Socialism) by raising the minimum wage of their babysitters. Where it already takes all of one wage earners salary to pay the baby sitter and part of the other's (taxes, ya know). It's no wonder the alternative is welfare. The new deal of 1933 has cost Americans generations of welfare dependence through wealth redistribution's hidden taxes with a system where their are no incentives.
