I am told (over at SCSU Scholars) that Hillary Clinton was talking about the minimum wage on Jay Leno. She claims a boy told about her mother. The minimum wage was raised, then her hours were cut, so she isn’t making any more money. Hillary says we need to fix that.
I agree, and am willing to join her in that fight. Here are some ways:
-
Cut business taxes so businesses will have more money to pay those higher wages (which they won’t do willingly, of course, but will do when competition forces them to do so).
-
Cut individual income taxes so people will have more money to pay the costs that businesses attempt to pass on to consumers.
-
Vote price-controlling politicians out of office this fall.
