Boehner: 'I'll commit suicide before I vote on a clean minimum wage bill'
Speaker John Boehner is so against raising the minimum wage that he once said he would rather commit suicide than vote for a “clean” increase.
The Ohio Republican and son of a barkeep has repeatedly opposed federally mandated hike increases, which have been a constant in the Democrats’ election-year playbook.
Boehner has “always believed that it's a job killer,” former Ohio Rep. Steve LaTourette, a labor-friendly Republican who is close to Boehner, told The Hill. He pointed to the Congressional Budget Office’s recent report that found that increasing the minimum wage could cost the economy 500,000 jobs.
Some Democrats are optimistic Boehner will cave and allow a vote this year, but the record shows there is little if any daylight between the pro-business Speaker and his conservative conference on this issue.

He sure has been doing that a lot lately.... 
And he couldn't pick a better issue to turn voters from Rs to Ds.
That's what my 7th grade English teacher taught us. So why does Boehner mispronounce his name? Just asking. .
Then vote for management once in office.
They get away with murder, that way.
1) To Make Money
2) If They Lose Money
Suicide is an unforgivable sin in the Catholic Church. 
hence the orange tinge.
they always want to 'get paid' for voting on bills. A little something to sweeten the pocketbook or not vote.
