Well imagine this. The Republicans are holding the lower class citizens hostage yet again:
Republican leaders are willing to allow the first minimum wage increase in a decade but only if it’s coupled with a cut in future inheritance taxes on multimillion-dollar estates, congressional aides said Friday.
A package GOP leaders planned to bring to a vote Friday or Saturday in the House also would renew several popular tax breaks, including a research and development credit for businesses, and deductions for college tuition and state sales taxes, said a spokesman for House Majority Leader John Boehner.
The wage would increase from $5.15 to $7.25 per hour, phased in over the next three years, said Kevin Madden, the aide to Boehner, an Ohio Republican.
The maneuver is aimed at defusing the wage hike as a campaign issue for Democrats while using its popularity to spur enactment of the Republican Party’s long-sought goal of permanently cutting taxes on millionaires’ estates.
These greedy fucks all need pulled the hell out of their plush offices, their salaries taken away, their bank accounts stripped and their homes taken away then sent out to try and live on $5.15 an hour. Not a single one of them would make it. Instead of realizing that, these inconsiderate asshole go out and try to push through the tax break that will only help them and their friends. These god damn Republicans do not care one single bit about the common people in this country, only themselves.
