“Enter the arrogance and callousness of the elite. Their vision of what a person should earn, expressed by higher minimum wages, destroys people’s best alternative without offering a superior one in its place.”

Yes, and the corollary problem is that 95% of minimum wage earners who vote also don’t understand that increasing the minimum wage actually hurts them. Whom do you think more minimum wage voters would prefer: Bernie Sanders or, say, Ted Cruz? Bernie assures them that he’ll increase their wages, while politicians like Ted Cruz are just “mean” for not wanting to give them a raise.

From its inception, increases in the minimum wage have always be accompanied by increased unemployment rates. The impact is usually placed on the young, inexperienced, often minority, worker...the very demogaphic unit it's supposed to help. Given that unemployment effect is as certain as the rising sun, why would politicians continue to think they can outperform a free market? The reason is because you have incredibly stupid people like those shown in the photo above who believe they can subvert the laws of supply and demand with impunity. The best that many can hope for in the long run is to say: "I can make $15/hr...if I can find a job."

Idiots.

Can not have enough popcorn ready when these thuglettes join with the True Berners at the Philly DNC coronation.

Note the following public service ad from the 1980's.

An example:
