Thuglicans attach tax cuts to minimum wage bill

It appears as though Senate Rethuglicans have successfully stalled the minimum wage increase bill by attaching a business tax cut bill to it. As I unserstand it, the Dems will either have to accept the tax cuts or vote against the bill when it comes to a floor vote.

If the Dems played the game the way the Thugs used to, they would vote for this crappy bill in the Senate and then dump the tax cut portion when it comes to the House-Senate Conference Committee to resolve differences between the House and Senate versions of the bill.
