House passes minimum wage hike, estate tax cut
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- By a vote of 230-180, the House gave the go-ahead early Saturday to legislation that gradually boosts the minimum wage from $5.15 to $7.25 an hour, phased over three years.

The measure also included a cut in the federal inheritance tax mostly paid by the wealthy.

Republican leaders made the minimum wage increase more palatable to their ranks by attaching it to a package of tax cuts they've been pushing, including a major reduction in the estate tax. (Posted 2:30 a.m.)

Tell me why exactly just because someone makes a lot of money they should be taxed at a higher rate? The thing you liberals don't understand is that the money is OURS not the government's to take and redistribute as it sees fit.

The minimum wage is NOT meant to be a living wage. It is a wage paid for entry-level workers with little or no experience, and there are VERY FEW companies that actually pay the Federal minimum wage anyway. If you don't like making minimum wage, then you get off your butt and do something to better yourself and make yourself more marketable. While we're at it, why stop at $7.50 per hour? Why not $10, $20? And WHO pays that increase in the minimum wage? The CONSUMER does...the very consumer that the minimum wage increase is designed to "help."

intellectual morons," smart people who make themselves stupid by letting "ideology do their thinking"; stock or fanatical answers, bad logic and lies are all part of their putative arsenal.


Why do well-educated antiwar activists call the president of the United States “the new Hitler” and argue that the U.S. government orchestrated the September 11 attacks?

Why does Al Gore believe that cars pose “a mortal threat to the security of every nation”?

Why does the Princeton professor known as the father of the animal rights movement object to humans eating animals but not to humans having sex with them—and why does PETA defend that position?

In other words, why do smart people fall for stupid ideas

It is startling how many Americans—and particularly how many media, academic, and political elites—fall for bad ideas. The trouble is, their lies become institutionalized as truth, and we all suffer as a result.

•How the environmental movement, spawned by a “scientist” whose doomsday predictions are almost always wrong, has bred fanaticism, stupidity, and dishonesty

How the hero of the animal rights crowd is a crank who promotes infanticide and euthanasia

•How a scientific fraud—and pervert—launched the sexual revolution

•How abortion rights activists ignore (or cover up) the fact that their matron saint advocated eugenics and concentration camps

•How our universities have become hothouses of leftist ideology

•How historians and journalists have airbrushed history to turn a racial separatist into a civil rights icon

More than the week before. I save systematically.

By the way, most Senators and Member of the House go home to their states/districts and meet with their constituents (and attend fundraisers). It's not like ALL of them are just goofing off. It's all part of their jobs.
