    Why does Biden go after anything but minimum wage? Just because min wage isn’t a winning issue doesn’t make the problem go away.

        Sure, that is why. Poor Biden, he would help the working class, only if he could. Give president absolute power to use it when they need to help the rich, but when it helps the working class, all of a sudden they are powerless.

            Didn’t democrats vote in executive power for president during Obama administration so the president can act on their own? Kinda funny how democrats complain republicans are authoritarian, when they give presidents power of kings.

            All presidents used executive power for lesser reasons. These are just PR games for naive voters.

      Because he can then actually do something about it. This way politicians can just pretend they are on the side of the working class, while passing bills that only benefit the rich and hurt us.
