Don't say I didn't tell you so.

"The most absurd plank to appear in either party's platform this year is the Democrats' call to 'raise the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour over time and index it,' " wrote Oren Cass, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute and author of "Is A $15 Federal Minimum Wage Appropriate?" "It is policy written for the nation's very wealthiest enclaves, but incoherent for economically distressed regions."

The tragic irony of this is that those who are worst hurt by a higher minimum wage are those with little education or training, mostly minorities, immigrants and the young. They get priced right out of the labor market by the well-meaning nanny-staters who want to impose a one-size-fits-all minimum wage on the entire country — regardless of the damage it does...

Hard to understand why Americans let Lefties who throw baseballs like girls, cross their legs like women and who have feminine golf swings lead us into economic oblivion. Mind boggler.

Witness John Kerry and Barrack Hussein Obama. Not sure on Tim Kaine

Well played.

My problem with the minimum wage is the clear liberal appeasement. A $1-$2 increase effectively does nothing unless you are going to also institute tax changes.

Seattle's is a bit different, but with a bigger problem. How do you implement such a change without simultaneously enacted some of Trump's protectionism? In other words, you increase the wage, then give a company a tax break for closing its doors, moving its plant to Mexico, paying nothing for labor, and selling the product back to the US absent a tariff?

With the advent of purchasing on the internet too, seems like a bad combination all around.
