Just Imagine how 30k for Family men and women. Is this not wickedness

I wanted to read the part where he said he will pay 30k


Since these politicians can say one thing and mean the other.

Next thing now, you will hear he increased the minimum wage but not up to the 30k and when asked he will say he didn't say he will pay 30k.

Okay
