"Most working families in this country are not on minimum wage... Kennedy must be in the Scotch again"


If a "working family" is making minninum wage, chances are they aren't paying one cent in taxes. They get EITC which can erase any income tax, social security and their health insurance deductions for the year. This family is a myth though. The family I described is a real family(not married couple, with kids). They are making well over minninum wage, have health care in group coverage and are "earning" well over half again their wages on the taxpayers back. I don't know of any employer in my town paying minninum wage. School kids are getting $8 an hour at the fast food joints part time. How can this SOB be so passionate about something so meaningless?
