48 – It differs because many states have passed laws that don’t count tips there. My own state of Washington is one of them and my gf benefits from it. It’s about time someone caught on that she was making way too much money. I mean she only has to work 50 hours a week to get by. That must be stopped!

[...] How can normal people allow this piece of legislation go through without feeling guilt and not being able to look in the mirror. Read more about how the repeal of the estate tax hurts America. The raising of the minimum wage will help millions but….not really. [...]

I’m awfully confused, according to #46 (point 4), tips will be counted as part of the minimum wage. The reason I’m confused is this is exactly the way we roll in texas already. Waiters get 2.15 an hour, plus tips. If you don’t make the 2.15, the company you work for is required to pay you up to the state minimum wage (5.50). In my experience, 3 such discrepancies and your ass is looking for a new job. You also don’t get overtime pay if you work in the food or “entertainment” business (includes being a popcorn hustler at a movie theater), but thats probably just a texas thing. If anyone could clear up how the new law would differ with the old one I’d be interested in the details.

correction to my post #46…item (1) should read:

(1) REDUCE ESTATE TAXES for the very, very wealthy permanently (from 55% to 30%)

By: bryan

This is NOT a vote on raising the minimum wage. This was a vote to:

(1) REDUCE ESTATE TAXES for the very, very wealthy permanently (from 50% to 25%)
(2) OVERRIDE STATE REGULATIONS on health insurance plan minimum coverages
(3) REDUCE BUSINESS TAXES
….and most remarkably…
(4) REDUCE ACTUAL WAGES FOR MINIMUM-WAGE SERVICE JOBS (by counting “tips” as part of the “minimum wage” paid by the employer)

Let’s be very clear that this bill was NOT a bill to raise the minimum wage. It was a bill to help those who are already wealthy and to help employers.

The argument will be won by the side that controls the language.

(By the way, see HR 2429 of the 109th Congress. This was a bill sponsored by 144 Representatives to raise the minimum wage to $7.25 by mid-2008. It was one page, 3 sections, and dealt only with raising the minimum wage. By contrast, HR 5970 which was voted on last night exceeds 600 pages of which 1 page is raising the minimum wage. Did the Democrats have a proposal? Yes, HR 2429! And its fate? buried in Committee)

#41- Reyes- That is a very good point. And when the Democrats suggested raising the minimum wage, the Republicans made it clear that there was NO WAY that they would let that happen. Until they started to understand just how tenuous their chances for re-election were becoming. So… FLIP-FLOP! Now they are all for it, as long as they get those tax cuts they were denied earlier. So they will take credit for putting up the wage increase bill, and either way, they win. Sneaky, sleazy Bastards, the lot of them.

With due respect to those suggesting the Democrats propose their own legislation. You’re missing the fact that this Congress (Senate and White House included) DO NOT allow Democrats an opportunity to propose amendments or other legislation. If they do, it is only because it is self-serving and the amendment usually means nothing. So, the Democrats have rightly been complaining that this government no longer is a two-party organization…the Repukes do not allow the minority party to participate in OUR government.
