FALCON PUNCH!!!
Fairly simple question (and I have my own answer to it, actually)... Why would your friends in Congress only allow an increase to the minimum wage if it also included another tax cut to the top 1%?
Well, one of the reasons I have figured out is the usual Con washing machine... spin spin spin. Y'see, if the Dems shoot down the bill due to the estate tax cut, the Pubs can basically run their 06 campaign on the notion that Democrats are against the common man because they voted against the increase to minimum wage. Very very slick, Karl must be on a big ol kick these days. This is the exact same way the "voted for it before he voted against it" chant that you guys all know and love came to be.
Before you say the word "compromise", think... how many tax cuts have there been that favor Daddy Warbucks? Now, how many increases to the minimum wage? If I miss my guess, the last increase to the minimum wage was back in 1997.
I just want to know why you can't cut the common man a break without any special conditions?
