He missed a huge opportunity re: $15 minimum wage being pushed by Dems. This is a big sop being thrown to voters, and they’re eating it up.
Here’s what Trump SHOULD say:
“We HAD $15, $18, $25 per hour jobs. The punitive policies of the Dems is what sent those jobs overseas.
Minimum wage jobs are supposed to be ENTRY LEVEL jobs, for kids just starting out, learning job skills, saving for college or that first car.
ENTRY LEVEL, burger flipping jobs aren’t intended to be lifetime careers, were never intended to support a family or pay a mortgage. They are ENTRY LEVEL.
But go into any fast food restaurant now and you’ll see 30-40-50 year olds, forced to compete with teenagers and stuck in those entry level jobs because there’s nothing better to move up to. Hillary’s policies sent those better paying, skilled jobs overseas.
Hillary’s solution to the problems SHE created is to force business owners to raise entry level wages to unsustainable levels AND punish businesses with even higher taxes.
The result will be hamburgers so high priced that nobody can afford to buy them, more layoffs, and a shift to automation for some businesses and closure for others. This is not rocket science, people, it’s common sense and basic business arithmetic.
But Hillary’s solution to every problem SHE created is to compound it with more problems.”
mumblypeg, you seem to be one of the very few that gets that minimum wage is a MAJOR cause of business fleeing our country.
Does Trump get it? Dunno, but he doesn’t touch it because the demagogues would spin it so hard to the gullible (most people unfortunately - they have purposely been dumbed down/brainwashed by government schools and are pretty clueless about free market economics even though it’s common sense) who as you say, would “eat it up” that Trump would be flung far off into outer space somewhere.
