Minimum Wage Hike Blocked

Tuesday, August 8, 2006

Senate Democrats blocked a bill last week that would raise the minimum wage, but would also cut the estate tax on multi-million-dollar estates. What do you think?

Spike Schafer,
Bassist
"I don't think I'm alone when I say that all the multi-millionaire janitors out there are going to throw a shitfit."

Betty Killman,
Street Vendor
"What's with these Democrats? Last week they blocked a bill that would've provided universal healthcare provided you had your forehead tattooed with a bar code."

Jones Liota,
Investment Banker
"As a life-long conservative, this bill has made me understand that sacrifices must be made if we are to preserve the obscene mechanisms of patronage and entitlement that made this country great."
