Slouching towards Feudalism

In the Republican race to create a landed class that pays no taxes, the House voted on Friday (late night, of course), to reduce the estate taxes.

Of course, this was not just a "straight bill" it was added to a Democratic attempt to increase the minimum wage from $5.15 where it has been for 10 years, to $7.25 over three years.

So, the poor get a bone, and the rich get a windfall. Sounds like Business As Usual for the Republicans.

Rep Rangel calls it what it is a highjacking of the poor to benefit the wealthy (AGAIN).

A rise in the minimum wage from $5.15 to $7.25 doesn't even keep up with inflation. Fuckers.

Let's see how the media covers it... To Be Updated.
