I don’t remember if I ever got around to writing this down or not, but it occurred to me when I first heard about this bill that Republicans are convinced that the 10% of people who control half the country’s wealth are getting screwed by the 90% who control the other half. Hence the tax cuts and the bankruptcy bill, and Santorum’s minimum wage proposal that would exempt another half million businesses and allow employers to pay absolutely nothing to restaurant workers and others who get tips.
