Minimum Wage Bill As Amended .. What? |
|
Okay. I give up. Here is what I can pin down. The repubs stopped blocking the bill when 8.4 BILLION in tax breaks for business were added on. But what I cant find out is what exactly those "tax breaks" are. Does anyone know? Will one cent actually reach a small business? Is the handout going solely to the lame red states that were still enslaving people at 5 bucks? I cant find the detail. Intentional?

I was just reading a similar story. Is it possible that they picked off two birds with the same stone? From what I was reading it sounded like Nardelian golden parachutes are now officially history? Hmm .. who woulda thunk it ... and repukes are going to vote for this? Maybe we're in a better position than I thought.
