The republican party, which has always opposed a minimum-wage increase, now initiates and pushes one through-- but only because they've hidden the permanent repeal of the Estate Tax in the same bill and killed all taxation on estates of one million dollars or more. Who do you think is going to pay for all that lost federal revenue, the Keebler Elves?
They've snuck in a lot more, too.
Not only that, but now they can do what they've always done... in the next election, they can put all the democrats, independents, and moderates up there for their campaign commercials and say, "But so-and-so voted against the minimum-wage increase in July of 2006, so who do you trust, him or me?"
Will we let them get by with this political blackmail and extortion again and again? Or should we call them on it right here and now? Thoughts? Ideas?
