So they think they outfoxed us?

Watch this video

So what he's saying is, the repugs attached raising the minimum wage to the elimination of the estate tax (which they knew wouldn't pass since it's a bad idea when the country is in such debt.. but they could say they tried!)

The end result being that, once again, the poor do not get an increase on their low paying jobs and go further into debt.. doesn't he know that the poor spend everything they make and it goes right back into the economy.. raising the mimimum wage only increases the amount of money in circulation.. and they haven't done it in 10 years! (with the repugs in control all that time, they have given themselves eight 8! raises in the past ten years!) Not to mention, it's way below the 70s when adjusted for inflation.. working at the car wash wouldn't pay as much :( and forget about if the job gets tips.. they put in the bill that you would be excempt from the minimum wage requirement and get paid only $3 an hour.. on a dead night at MidPac, you'd only get $10 total!
