“It is an excuse to make it a do-nothing Congress,” Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison, Republican of Texas, said. “And we are turning our back on the middle-class and poor people in this country who depend on the minimum wage and death-tax relief.” (New York Times)
TRANSLATION:
Even though voters who “depend on the minimum wage AND death-tax relief” may consist of 0, hopefully some voters will replace the AND with an OR. I want to make Democrats look like they’re doing nothing for the rich or the poor.
