Rep. Jack Kingston: Poor People Don't Need Family Time or Decent Wages, But I do!
Don't you love it when the Self-Centered Congressman of the Day is not from your state?
This one's from Georgia.
Think Progress:
Rep. Jack Kingston (R-GA) made headlines last month after complaining about Congress’ new schedule that requires members to work five days a week:
"Keeping us up here eats away at families," said Rep. Jack Kingston (R-Ga.), who typically flies home on Thursdays and returns to Washington on Tuesdays. "Marriages suffer. The Democrats could care less about families — that’s what this says."
Yet, last night, Kingston offered this advice to Americans living in poverty: work longer hours. During House debate over the minimum wage, Kingston said raising the minimum wage would do nothing for poor Americans. Instead, if people marry and work longer hours, “they would be out of poverty,” he said. “It’s an economic fact.”
You can watch the jerk say it on a video, but take a barf bag.
