GOP House approves tax cuts that would add $287 billion to the deficit that they insist is too high

A living wage would be a win-win. It's surprising (?) that the benefits are overlooked by repubs.

You don't have to worry though Harry Reid and his cronies will stop anything the republicans want good or bad.

But if you pay the workers a living wage, as seen by the minimum wage hikes in a lot of states, you'll have less turnover, more productive workers, so that any type of tax relief would be spent to try and actually help the business.

I really don't expect Republicans to see the long-term results, but when they are going back to doing things that caused us more financial heartache in the long term... someone needs to step up and say something.

That 33K a year can pay for another employee so yes it would help a lot.

The White House has threatened to veto the bill , along with the other permanent cuts.

Thank the stars there's still an adult left in the room.

Cut peoples taxes

People have more money

People spend more money
Not while it's done in percentages. That means someone working at Subway would get around a $12 tax break while someone making over 500k a year would get around 33,000 a year in tax breaks.

Yep, that sure is helping America out.

Taxes need to be cut. It only adds to the deficit, if spending, and the bloated size of government is not concurrently trimmed as well.

Why do the libs consistently ignore the REAL problem?

That was a rhetorical question.
