I was told at work by a temp worker I'm gonna make 950 bucks this week I get eight hours a day for working here I also get four hours for riding on a bus from Janesville So six days of work gets me 72 hours of pay I told him I only made 400 dollars as a temp 40 hours at 10 dollars an hour 8 hours at 15 dollars an hour Minus 120 dollars in taxes paid Minus all the gas money and wear and tear on my car But at least I don't have to ride on a bus The word is out on the street that this is a really bad place to work So they have to bus in 60 workers from 100 miles away To make the parts Because most people in my area won't work here And I don't blame them one bit!

About this poem:
Imagine working at a job for years and finding out that a temp is making 400 dollars a week more than you are. That is just one of the many things that works me up and drives me crazy. This Trump health care plan would be great if everyone would be covered as good as people who are disabled or are in prison. Our health care system is a cruel joke!
