Some neanderthals still believe that doing this incredibly dastardly deed may turn off campaign contributors. What a bunch of monsters.

their own pay raises?:mad:

Like putting gays in prison camps? Shooting illegal immigrants on the nightly news? Cutting every tree down in the United States? Blowing up Mt. Rushmore? Putting Walmart in charge of the Labor Department?

You KNOW there is a hidden piece of shit that the Dems cannot vote for, thus the Repubs will ge to say "See, we tried to raise minimum wage, and the DEMS killed it."

If it is not there now, it will be momentarily.

may attach wording which will ease the employers health care costs. Ya know give and take.

House Republicans weigh minimum wage hike

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - House Republicans worried about their political fate inched toward a vote on Thursday to raise the federal minimum wage for the first time in a decade, but Democrats called it an empty gesture.

Rep. Steven LaTourette, an Ohio Republican active in the negotiations, said the deadlock over the wage hike had been broken.

"The vote to raise the minimum wage to $7.25 an hour over three years will be held tomorrow," he said.

A House leadership aide said a vote was likely, but no firm decision had been made.

The bill that will come before the U.S. House of Representatives will likely be coupled with a controversial small business health plan that could sink the initiative.

Critics object to relaxing state restrictions on small business health plans saying that could allow health care providers to avoid covering common and serious diseases like diabetes and breast cancer.

WASHINGTON - Republican leaders are willing to allow the first minimum wage increase in a decade but only if it's coupled with a cut in future inheritance taxes on multimillion-dollar estates, congressional aides said Friday.
