Making Americans Poor Again...

Trump Revoked A Minimum Wage Hike for companies that contract with the government...
"Donald Trump rescinded an executive order issued by President Joe Biden that had raised the minimum wage for federal contract workers to $17.75 per hour.
This change, enacted through an executive order on March 14, 2025, lowers the minimum wage for federal contractors back to $13.30 per hour,
which was originally set under an Obama-era executive order."
An estimated 390,000 workers will now see significant pay cuts.
Trump will use that money to give tax cuts to the wealthy ruling class.

Champion of the Working Class, right folks?

Those tax cuts for the “makers” of the country will trickle down to the rest of us, creating millions of new jobs, and the resulting prosperity will flood the US Treasury with increased tax receipts.

Sam Brownback tried that model in Kansas. It worked wonders for him.

WALMART

TARGET

COSTCO

AMAZON

These employers have minimum wages that are higher than $13.30.

I guess, they will just love a pay cut and embrace the Fed contract jobs because hey, when left to their devices ---people want pay cuts.

*OR* them contract jobs will have to pay more----to get workers.

Especially with fewer immigrants coming in.

Let's see, which one os more possible to those in the real world.
