The Verdict Is In . .
For one liberal, at least. Harold Meyerson asks the Senate to vote against the minimum wage bill because cuts in the death tax come with it. Hm. Hard to believe any liberal would advocate for that if the increase in the minimum wage was as essential as they've been telling us it is. Surely the calls for an increased wage weren't simply cyncial political pandering . . .
Guess Meyerson's one for sure who hates "the rich" more than he cares about "the poor."

Me, too. Let's raise it overwhelmingly. $100k annually + benefits and 20 weeks vacation.
No one should have to live on less, including me.
Regarding the Death Tax:
Would it be more fair if the law excluded the 500 richest families from being included? Or would the fact that 501-1000 are benefitting stick in your craw just as much?
The fact that we weren't able to keep our family farm thanks to this tax really annoys me.
wrabkin doesn't care. wrabkin suffers from severe envy. Since there's just so many poor who need the minimum wage increased (what is the ratio of them to the 1-5% of whom you are so jealous?), how much tax revenue will now be lost because they didn't go for this bill? Oh, it doesn't matter. Those impoverished will just have to wait until a different bill comes along. Say, wrabkin. Do you work for someone who makes under 30K per year? Just wondering.
wrabkin, bastian of "progressive" "compassion" wrote very condescendingly:
So pardon me if I remain a littel skeptical of your sad, sad story.
I'll pardon your skepticism. But I won't pardon your callous attitude. And I won't ever understand your world view that says its cool to tax in death what was already taxed plenty in life.
