I'm making the same as I did in 1988. I have gotten many raises over the years and still making the same amount. Why?? Because these flipping Democrats only know give to the bums, non working POS year after year. Pass laws and misinterpret the constitution to NOW give my hard earned money to illegal aliens that our NOW collecting welfare. When does it stop??? When are we going to help out AMERICA before the bums and worthless POS of the world??
