RAGS TO RICHES….The latest from the GOP:
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.
Clearly, the Republican Party is the party of common sense. After all, if you give a few hundred dollars a month to the poorest of the working poor, it’s only fair that you also give several million dollars to the richest of the idle rich.
Right?

Wrong, wrong, wrong.
(1) Raising the minimum wage is a joke. All it does is put poor people out of work and give raises to the politicians and the politically connected unions. If 7$/hour is good, why not 10$/hour? Why not a 100$/hour? Argh.
(2) Estate taxes are theft. And the graves being robbed don’t vote.
How stupid are we?
