Minimum Wage

It' too late for us here in Iowa, but there may be hope for the rest of the nation:

"On a vote of 54-43, Democrats fell six short of the 60 needed to end debate and go to passage of the House-passed measure, which would raise the minimum wage to $7.25 per hour from $5.15 per hour over two years."

But of course, some still can't see the big picture:

"But Democratic Sen. Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts led the charge against attaching tax breaks to the bill, saying in the past decade the U.S. Congress has provided billions of dollars in tax relief to corporations and the wealthiest Americans."

CORPORATIONS DO NOT PAY TAXES.
Dammit, how can this slime ball continue to be elected by the Massachusetts voters?
Just proves that the closer you get to an ocean, the dumber you become.
Why is that?
