Raising the minimum wage has nothing to do with “working class” politics, and has everything to do with pandering for votes and undermining small business owners.

Anyone with half a brain should see a giant red flag in all this when the increase in the minimum wage is viewed in the context of the OTHER elements of the leftist agenda in the U.S. The whole thing is a farce and will inevitably result in a collapse of our entire social order. Just look at ALL The things they’re pushing here, dude:

1. Raise the minimum wage to $15/hour — even for workers who don’t produce $15/hour of value for their work.

2. Force employers to pay for health insurance — so the $15/hour worker now costs $18-$20 per hour.

3. Flood the country with illegal immigrants — who will simply undercut the $15/hour worker anyway.

4. Adopt a “universal basic income” — to pay people $15/hour even if they don’t work anyway, and even if they are illegal aliens.

This has nothing to do with “country club Republicans.” It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that this is going to be an absolute disaster.

It has everything to do wit it.

When it doesn't?
