Seems reasonable to me.

But to fight the Minimum Wage, you have to fight the entire mindset behind it. So you MUST convince people that getting rid of the minimum wage (or, say, phasing it out), will result in virtually full-employment. Little by little. It’s a hard sell, and I respect her for opening the discussion.

If you go to McDonalds, you see that their drink dispensers (behind the counter) now do everything, from dropping the right cup, putting in the right amount of ice, to filling to the right level (for the size of the cup) to putting the cap on the cup. That is VERY EXPENSIVE, and I have no doubt that the minimum wage caused them to use this (i.e., one less employee per store).

That is how you approach the issue...otherwise you get demagogued, again.
