Heartless Republican - Florida

Mr. Bumble from Oliver Twist

Rep. C. W. (Bill) Young has not had a real job for half a century. He began sucking on the taxpayer tit in 1960 when he was elected to the Florida state Senate. A decade later he stepped up to the US House of Representatives where he has stayed for 42 years.

If there is anyone who doesn't know the meaning of the phrase "get a job" it's Bill Young. That's why it was heartless of him when a constituent asked him to support a hike in the minimum wage and he responded angrily with "How about getting a job." When told by the constituent that he already had a job but it just didn't pay a living wage, Rep. Young got angrier and repeated his command to "Get a job!"

Young is a duplicate for those callous characters Charles Dickens put into petty offices in his novels. Give Rep. Young a 6.9 on the Heartless Scale.
