Mr. Make it Happen

Seventeen an hour. That's what Texas Democrats want you earning by 2027 — and they filed it on day one like they're doing you a favor. They're not. Every dollar they force on employers comes out of your grocery bill, your rent, or your job. Small shops close, shifts get cut, teenagers get priced out before they start. It's the oldest trick in the book: promise the raise, hide the price tag. Abbott lost, the House flipped, and now the bill's coming for your paycheck. Don't say nobody warned you.
