The Moderate Voice - GOP Says OK To Minimum Wage Increase BUT: "In many quarters they're going to say 'Hooray! The GOP has agreed to allow an increase in the minimum wage.' But wait — as the infomercials like to say — 'there's more!'
Republican leaders are willing to allow the first minimum wage increase in a decade but only if it's coupled with a cut in inheritance taxes on multimillion-dollar estates, congressional aides said Friday. . ."
No one can accuse the GOP of not staying 'on message.' And the message they are sending to many Americans — including those who are NOT Democrats — is that they won't do something for working Americans unless they can hold a gun to legislators' heads making them pass something that will give a tax break to wealthy supporters and/or contribtors. Will this be a 'poison pill' that dooms the measure (so GOPers can then try to blame the defeat on Democrats)?"
