I've got something to say about the attempt to link the minimum wage hike and the estate tax cut...and will do so later, if you want to check back, probably, egads, tonight! Running wild this a.m.
UPDATE: this was really the height of Republican gall--linking the passage of the hike in the minimum wage cut to a cut in the estate tax. Amazing logic: people who are struggling to make ends meet won't get a little more money until we give a very small number of the very rich another tax break (maybe 3,500 families in the entire country, including the secret cabal of 18 of the superwealthy who have been underwriting the attack on the estate tax). Only in America.
As Karl Rove said in DC yesterday, "U.S. voters often tune out policy debates but it's wrong to think of them as stupid, uninformed and gullible"
TRANSLATION: "We won't call you stupid as long as you let us do all your thinking for you."
