Now, I hope that the Republicans don't cave on this. This is such a golden opportunity to make an illustration.

The Democrats claim, "We've got to raise the minimum wage. We have to raise the minimum wage. People are
starving and I can't feed a family of four on it!"

Okay. Here comes your chance. Raise it what you want: $2.10. We just need to cut the estate tax. We will find out.

The question is, will liberal Democrats actually side with the poor and the minimum wage earners in America? The single moms? The teachers? Parents with kids in college? Middle class consumers?

Will they side with those people, or will they cast them aside? Will they stick it to them? Will they once again lift them up with hope and opportunity, or slice them down to size all because the rich are getting a tax cut at the same time?

You see, it is class envy at its best.
