“Conservatives” argue with “liberals” about what the minimum wage should be, and whether it should be increased, or decreased, and what would be the economic impact of doing so.
And they miss the point entirely.
Communist tyrants sit back, grab the popcorn, and laugh their asses off. THEY HAVE ALREADY WON!!! The “liberals” and “conservatives” have accepted the EXISTENCE of a minimum wage.
“I already know what you are, madam. Now we’re just haggling over the price.”
I know, I seem to recall seeing this show before only starring Colin Powell.
Dr.Carson is a fantastic neurosurgeon and person. But I don’t know what he’s doing running for President. I’d take Herman Cain , any day!
Ya....Ben has many great qualities but HHS Secretary is about the right role for him.
“If minimum wage was eliminated as it should be since it violates natural law and rights, the illegal alien problem would dry up.”
Not really. If an American won’t do the job at 7.50 he darn sure ain’t gonna do it at 5.50.
In a few years he’ll be older than Hill is—with still no political experience.
He’s the classic case of a guy who wants to transfer to politics from another field at too high a level.
Like Herman Cain, he could have done better running for Congress to start.
But these guys, as they enter their seventh decade are in a hurry and only are interested in being at the top.
Too bad.

Carson Herman Cain minus the sexual harassment scandals - an obviously smart and capable person with zero qualifications for the highest office in the land and zero chances of winning. With their complete lack of political experience and their often bizarre public statements, neither one of them would even be a blip on the GOP radar screens as plausible candidates if it weren't for a certain type of GOPer bending over backwards to prove to the world how non-racist and inclusive they are.
You’re assuming that he’ll still have welfare alternatives.
Also, you’re forgetting those who become hire-worthy when the wage drops lower.
I won’t disagree there. I favored Mr Cain until they dun ‘em in.
Dr Carson is different from all other candidates in that he is brilliant.
I think he has some big money corporate backers that want him to be the person to sort out the wreckage of Obamacare.
Now I know was right.
Ben carson jumps the shark.
Illegals are paid under the table. That is part of the “undocumented” stuff. They are paid under the table to avoid even the MW, which overvalues lots of jobs and skill sets.
My point is there would not be all these illegals flooding the country, and cow-towing to their language and paying for their kids and medical issues, by lib commies, if there were no MW. Americans could be paid less, documented, and there would be less “need” for these illegals if we let the market work all its own, including prices for labor.
Dr. Carson’s life story is inspiring. He’s a good role model for many young men.
If only he weren’t running for office... Politics is a whole different game. I was hoping he wouldn’t throw his hat in the ring because it’s going to be heartbreaking watching both parties go after him now.
I was waiting for someone else to point out the obvious. If a white neurosurgeon or Pizza CEO ran for President, they'd be treated as a local curiosity and fringe candidate by the media (like I've said before, do you remember software engineer/businessman Jim Lenane's candidacy for the GOP nomination back in 1992? Neither do most people, nor did many people know about him even then). In contrast, because Cain and Carson are black, the GOP's own version of affirmative action and political correctness requires everyone to speak of them with respect and awe as serious and plausible candidates.
I thought it was just chronic, but clearly Arson’s foot-in-mouth disease is terminal. My condolences.
Bye bye, Ben!
“With every new comment Carson shows why he has no business in the race.”
Yep. None.
I really love Dr. Carson, but I think you are correct, FRiend...
