Pshaw. 53% isn't a vast majority, it's just a simple majority.* And poor people don't vote anyway. Especially those that are working more than one job!! And the lower the wages, the more likely poor people will be to be working more than one job! This has the happy side effect of having fewer total people employed at all.
*Don't worry, I'm a chick, but not a hot chick. So this raises no issues of whether or not hot chicks can do math.
