Rep. Wamp (R-TN) Brags About 'Outfoxing' Low-Wage Workers


Rep. Zach Wamp (R-Tenn) Brags About Sabotaging Minimum Wage Bill: "You Have Seen Us Really Outfox You"

Foxy Congressman Zach Wamp admits that he and his GOP colleagues have 'outfoxed' the minimum wage workers of America. In their latest scheme against a minimum wage increase, the GOP Friends of Paris Hilton have tied an increase of the pathetic $5.15 minimum wage to a tax cut for millionaires.

Zach Wamp's children wouldn't stand for an allowance of $5.15 an hour.

Republicans have 'said no' to a minimum wage increase for nine years!

I hope the minimum wage workers of Chattanooga Tennessee are paying attention and plan to send this foxy Friend of Paris Hilton packing come November.

Think Progress:

At 2 a.m. on Saturday morning, the House of Representatives passed a bill that links a $2 increase in the minimum wage to a dramatic cut of the estate tax for millionaires.

A few hours earlier, Rep. Zach Wamp (R-TN) went on the House floor to brag about this ploy, which has little chance of passing the Senate. Wamp said to his opponents, “I know why you’re so mad and why you say things you don’t really mean. It’s because you have seen us really outfox you on this issue tonight.”
