Yeah, you read that correctly: The economically distressed would get an additional $2.10 an hour, whereas the Walton kids and the Hilton sisters would get untold millions.

Regarding the millionaire tax cut, House Majority Leader John Boehner said, “This is the best shot we’ve got; we’re going to take it.”

Clearly, politics has been reduced to dirty tricks- with shenanigans like this, either the super-rich get their tax cuts, or the working poor get nothing. Why must this continue- why should we accept another day with such a useless set of fools making laws to enrich themselves and their cronies.
