The Importance Of The Anti-Trump Movement In Midtown
The New York State Republican Committee’s annual gala in Midtown Thursday night, with all three Republican presidential candidates scheduled to speak, was to draw over 10,000 Trump protesters according to liberal anti-Trump forces.

At the height of the protest less than 200 or so people were involved in the rather weak rally. Our deep-cover sources within the anti-Trump movement say the protesters are demanding a $15.00 per hour minimum wage and union representation. Many protesters say they will refuse to protest unless they are paid a living wage.

The vast majority of Trump protesters are paid by Bernie Sanders supporters, MoveOn.org, Black Lives Matter and anti-Trump unions. We have emailed these groups asking if they plan to meet the

    I decided to interview Lindy Swimm for this assignment because she lives and has been working in Charlottesville, Virginia for 30 years. This was exceptionally useful because upon graduation I desire to live in Charlottesville. In Charlottesville the average salary for an LCP who holds a Master’s of Science in Counseling is $54,750. This can fluctuate with certain certifications, years of experience, and whether you’re working for a company or a private practice.

    “I want to state upfront, unequivocally and without doubt: I do not believe that any racial, ethnic or gender group has an advantage in sound judging. I do believe that every person has an equal opportunity to be a good and wise judge, regardless of their background or life experiences” (Sonia Sotomayor). There are so many different ethnic conflicts in the world. Whether it be from the past or sometime recent. Ethnic tensions in the United States include events that happened because of it including the Red Apple boycott, the Crown Heights Riot in 1991, the 1993 killing of five and wounding of 19 on the Long Island railroad, etc.…

    This protest happened in September 2011 and it began because of the 2008 financial crisis, which prevented banks from bailing people out, caused the failure of many key businesses like New Century Financial, and dropped the stock markets world wide. This protest was formed in order to bring awareness to how little the United States Government cared about the 99 percent of the American population. These people were losing their homes, their jobs, and their insurances while the executives continued to receive “exorbitant bonuses.” (224) During this time the government and businesses would tell their employees that they were loosing their health care because they hired more employees and they didn’t have enough money to give everyone a paycheck and health care. The Workingmen’s Party and Occupy Wall Street happened over 200 years apart, yet they still face the same problems. The labors are working for corporations that do not pay their workers…

    Fast food workers at McDonald’s want their wage to be raised to fifteen dollars an hour. The workers go on strike and protest for these wages and McDonald’s is slowly giving into their preposterous task. President Barack Obama has signed laws to raise wages by 2020, him and seventeen other states have passed laws to raise the wage by that year too. The lowest minimum wages in the country right now are in Georgia and Wyoming at a whopping five dollars and fifteen cents an hour. Let us be honest, a fast food job is not a hard job at all, really the only thing difficult would have to be dealing with the occasional rude customer. Many other minimum wage jobs do not require much skill at all, it is not worth the fifteen dollars that they keep asking for. Many laboring jobs such as an electrician and plumbers make around thirteen dollars an hour including health benefits, with a job that is obviously much harder than flipping burgers to the extent that the two are not nearly comparable. Blue collar workers, such as plumbers, mechanics, or construction workers electricians, have to get down and dirty and do what others would not do to make thirteen an hour. Although, this does not apply to all plumbers and electricians because their wages start to increase. So why should a worker restocking shelves and scanning groceries deserve fifteen dollars an hour? Many workers who are for raising the wage are workers who have to support a family on a decently low…

    First, I bet a lot of people remember their first jobs, but do they remember how much they got paid? The average minimum wage currently is $2.13 for tipped workers as long as the total is not less than 7.25 per hour. Minimum wage is a large economic issue in our country for especially young people or people who are undereducated and did not go to college. Hillary plans on changing minimum wage and raising it to $12. I know a lot of people think raising the minimum wage also raises the prices of everything else, and it does, but for those who make minimum wage $12 is a huge step and it makes things more affordable.…
