But that was just the beginning.
Republicans have been trying to cancel the minimum wage ever since it was enacted in the 1930s; more recently they’ve successfully canceled every attempt to increase that wage for well over a decade.
Republicans have done their best to cancel American’s health care, from multiple lawsuits going all the way to the Supreme Court to cancel Obamacare, to a dozen Red states, to this day, cancelling Medicaid for their lowest-paid working people.
Along those same lines, Republicans have fought to cancel unions ever since the 1920s. In the 1940s they passed the Taft Hartley Act over President Harry Truman’s veto, which gave individual states the right to cancel unions; nearly every Red state in the union has now taken them up on this, crashing union membership in America from about a third of all workers in 1980 to fewer than 6% of the private workforce today.
Republicans have worked hard to cancel educational opportunity for Americans, from elementary school through college. While Republican President Dwight Eisenhower built brand-new schools all across the United States in the 1950s, everything changed when Reagan came into office in 1981.
He appointed Bill “You could abort every Black baby in this country and your crime rate would go down” Bennett as his Education Secretary and you can draw straight line from there to Betsy DeVos trying to cancel public schools all across America and replace them with for-profit private academies.
