What a crock.

It may be bad policy but sadly it’s good politics
Such is the state of economic thinking in this country

The minimum wage is bad policy.
It’s supply and demand.
You might as well try limiting the maximum velocity of a falling object by statute.

That’s the kind of statement that is:
- Intellectually defensible in academic debates on economics.
- Sure to lose you every election from now till the sun goes supernova.

I’ve talk to lots of people who are for the raising the minimum wage and they’ll acknowledge that it will cost jobs but they think it’s only fair

Constitutionally indefensible.

The “minimum wage” is simply the government prohibiting people from working at jobs that are worth less than an arbitrarily set amount.

It is bad policy. The government has no business dictating a person’s worth in the job market.

The only ‘fair’ minimum wage is $0.00 per hour.

It’s not “raising the minimum wage.” It’s “outlawing low paying jobs.”
For Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton, it’s not whether or not to kill jobs, it’s about how many jobs to kill.

Of course Cruz does; his sponsors need their H-1B Indians to be paid less than $15/hr.
Cruz supports 325,000 more H-1B foreign tech workers to come in while Americans are out of work.

Cruz clearly sees what happens with a $15/hour minimum wage: less people will be hired and places like fast-food restaurants will
increase automation, hiring less staff along the way. Indeed, McDonald's and the owners of other major fast-food outlets are seriously studying automating the process of buying food as much as possible.
In short, even the Left has forgotten one lesson of Karl Marx: the higher the wage you go, the more reliance on machines you get.
