With every new comment Carson shows why he has no business in the race.
Maybe in a few years, but his time isn't now.
Cue Revrunt Sharpton calling Carson an Unca TOM for not demanding a 20 dollar HIKE in the minimum wage...
What does MW accomplish? How much less would people make without it? Not much I’m guessing.
Support for increasing the minimum wage in a period of high unemployment is a minor negative.
The real question is who is going to restore the import tariffs, and restore American manufacturing and put everyone back to work. Do that and you won’t need to raise the minimum wage, the labor market will do it for you.
No religious exemptions for vaccinations.
Higher minimum wage.
Assault rifles have no civilian purpose.
WHAT’S NOT TO LOVE ABOUT THIS GUY
Nice guy with his heart in the right place but no idea about how to help America economically or in foreign policy matters. He’ll make a great Surgeon General.
What’s important about this argument, like every damned liberal argument, is to have the same argument 739 times. As if the adherents of the other side are open to being convinced of anything.
Until leftists, including (R) leftists learn that, they will never fix the problem.
The proper solution is to get government OUT of the minimum wage business.

Why is he called “conservative”? I know he had some views that were in sync with conservative views, but mostly he had no position on the issues. He stood up to Obama at a prayer meeting, he’s really smart, he’s black, he’s successful — that is the resume we are presented with.
But as someone else says, the more he speaks, the more it sounds like he has views on issues that span a range of political labels. Maybe he is a good social conservative. Maybe he is a moderate on government spending. Who knows?
What we know is that he has never held office, and we have NO idea how he would ever actually vote on anything. He’s never been in a debate, we don’t know how he’d answer specific questions.
In the current field of candidates, is there really a reason we need to jump to an untested, unknown personality?
Would anybody even care about Ben Carson if his skin was white?
I search the Constitution in vain to find any authority for the Congress, or the President, or any Court to establish a “minimum wage”.
Before Mr. Carson proposes to increase the “Federal Minimum Wage”, he should enlighten We the People as to where he finds the authority to establish a minimum wage at all.
Meh.
Constitutionally clueless Carson evidently doesn’t understand that the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate vote-winning minimum wage. This is evidenced by the following excerpt from a Supreme Court case opinion.
”State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphases added].” —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
So if Carson wants the feds to have the constitutional authority to regulate minimum wage then he needs to do the following. He needs to work with state and federal lawmakers to propose a minimum wage amendment to the Constitution to the states for ratification. And if the states choose to ratify Carson’s amendment then Congress will have the constitutional authority that it needs to regulate minimum wage and Carson will be a hero.
It’s a moot point. The minimum wage IS going to be raised. 80% of our economically illiterate electorate supports that in polls. It’s an unwinnable argument.
Santorum is a dummy too. He’s going to buy the votes of working families by backing a raise in the MW?
4.7% of the workforce works for minimum wage, mostly high school and college students. A tiny percentage of “working families” work at minimum wage jobs, and most of them will be voting Democrat no matter what any Republican says.

Brilliant: raise the minimum wage, throw more young people out of work. If you like Baltimore, this will get you more of the same.
Previously I said of Carson, “Congress first, then maybe President later.” Now I don’t even want him in Congress. Too many FUNDAMENTAL liberty issues in which he lines up with Pelosi.
Brilliant guy, but I think he belongs in medicine, not politics.
Ya....Ben has many great qualities but HHS Secretary is about the right role for him.
Now I know was right.
