Kennedy on Possible House Vote on Minimum Wage/Estate Tax

Today, Senator Edward M. Kennedy released the following statement:

"Republicans are playing politics with the lives of hardworking people who struggle each day to provide for their families. It may be a political game for Republicans, but it's a hard reality for low wage workers who worry every day if they can pay the bills. It's political blackmail to say the only way that minimum wage workers can get a raise is to give tax giveaways to the wealthiest Americans. Members of Congress raised their own pay - no strings attached. Surely, common decency suggests that minimum wage workers deserve the same respect."
