Quote:There will always be the haves and have not's, but that's a completely different issue than the minimum wage. The purpose of the minimum wage was to say this ____ amount has to be the starting point for whatever reason. But now we've all but accepted that the starting point is also supposed to be an acceptable destination. That's my original point about Trump, the "populist" is now "open" to the idea that the starting point is an acceptable destination for some portion of the population and therefore we have to be open to maybe increasing it. 

 

You want to create jobs and wealth remove the government regulations on people starting their own business then you have less people dependent on a third party. THAT's the real solution. 

I agree with removing the government restrictions for people starting small businesses...THAT is exactly why small businesses fail or struggle and prevent many people from starting their own business...Again I say, research the reason minimum wage was enacted in the very beginning, if there were to be no minimum wage, we would be right back to that same state
