Actually Savage did discuss the minimum wage, and does support it, and this is what he said about it. He said that the product liability legal racketeering industry and their minions have contributed vastly more to the price of consumer goods in this country than any minimum wage does. The class action lawyers are more responsible for the price of a cheeseburger than any pimple-faced kid flipping patties paying for college books and a beat up old car. He also stated that although the minimum wage isn't strictly supply-and-demand market economics, it could be justified for ethical and moral reasons, having been there himself, and since many other things also are dictated for moral reasons like child labor for example. That said, anyone who thinks an adjustment in the minimum wage would bring us to the brink of socialism is smoking crack. Our country already has large swaths of its economy dictated by other than fair free-market economics. It's been that way for many years.
