Kerry Is A No Show In '08

John Kerry is not running for president in 2008. I highly doubt he would have been much of a threat this time considering his popularity is far below that of Clinton. Thank you for not running during this election. I voted for you in 2004, but now that we have better candidates in 2008 I wouldn't waste my vote.

Minimum Wage May Stay The Same

Well it was a nice thought the Democrats had of increasing minimum wage from the low $5.15 an hour to the whopping $7.25 over the next 26 months. The effort to pass an already approved bill from the House in the Senate failed 54-43. This was due to the fact that the bill did not have any tax breaks for restaurants and other small businesses that like to pay their employees practically nothing.

If the Democrats offer tax break incentives in the bill then it is possible that the bill will pass through the Congress. The problem I can't figure out is it has been 10 years since minimum wage has increased, yet I doubt it has been 10 years since small businesses has received a tax break.
