Yesterday at the Missouri Ethics Commission in support of right to get paid less:

[emphasis added]

It’s a new PAC, supporting right to get paid less and opposed to the CLEAN Missouri initiative on campaign finance, lobbying and redistricting reform.

Not to be confused with Freedom to Work. Having a lot of money is something they have in common, though.

Why is it corporate CEOs and not working people who write those $100,000.00 checks? Oh, right, because they can.

Today at the Missouri Ethics Commission in support of a PAC supporting “right to get paid less”:

171367 05/09/2018 Freedom To Work A New Missouri Inc. 105 E High Street Jefferson City MO 65101 5/8/2018 $500,000.00

[emphasis added]

Isn’t that special? That’s a lot of money to promote the “freedom” of workers to get paid less.

$400,000.00? Where did they get all that money?
