Minimum wage is the outlawing of lower paying jobs.

Trump is working to get the Bernie supporters who've been screwed over by the DNC. I don't think he'll actually advocate for a higher minimum-wage if he wins the WH, though.

I do reject the premise of the minimum-wage. It should be abolished at the federal level and let states committ economic suicide if they want to raise theirs.

I think the minimum wage should be increased. 7.25 is too low. However, people should not be working at McDonalds for years either.

The alternative is welfare.

He’s on record saying it should be left to the states.

From an economic viewpoint, a government mandated minimum wage constitutes “collusion” worse than any monopoly would be able to enforce!

Neither Donald Trump nor any other person has the power to violate the laws of economics.

I think we should try a $100 per hour minimum wage for a while. It wouldn't take long for people to learn a lesson from it.

If supporting a minimum wage is the price of saving the Second Amendment, then I'm for it.

Trump may not have a personal opinion regarding a minimum wage. His comments seem political.

The cost of labor should be a supply and demand issue. If you want higher wages, then you need more jobs so that employers compete for workers with higher wages or benefits.

Right now we have lots of workers and not enough jobs, so that has depressed wages.

Bernie LIED about Trump when he said Trump said he wanted to LOWER the minimum wage.

Solution:
No payroll tax, no FICA, etc for working poor.
Even employers share of SS, Medicare, etc goes to the employee.

At the same time no EITC. Cut SSI to the fake disabled.
Make all means-test programs harder to qualify.

Win-win for everyone ... except plantation maintenance crew.

I’m not opposed to raising the minunumn wage. First off, let me be clear: the minunumn wage hurts low skilled employment. This is well established and we all know it.

However there are 2 major benifits to the minunumn wage: Family owned businesses with kid workers have competitive advantage and it forces larger companies to invest in tech to reduce labor costs. This forced technological adavanced greatly increases productivity and makes us all wealthier.

I like calling it a state issue. Let the states FIGHT IT OUT. If they do, we Texans may well ABOLISH ours. Other states, particularly those into the $15 deal, they can try to compete with us.

LOL!!!!!!!!!

I have no problem with a minimum wage, happier if only for citizens. Charge a 100% tax on non-citizen labor to incentivize hiring Americans. What is correct minimum, that is challenge—if entry-level jobs, lower than for career minimum wage jobs.

There should be no minimum wage. It kills jobs.

The key to your concerns lies in the 10th amendment, and more importantly how the government treats the 10th.

Trump is great, but what you’re looking for is a Coolidge.

"Will someone in the know get to Trump and tell him to stifle his minimum wage talk."
