I saw this last night. Wanted to vomit. BOR is about as knowledgeable on economics as the Pope. Surprisingly, it’s Bill Gates who seemed to get it right.

I lost all respect for the sincerity of this man when he attacked the Swift Boat Vets. That would be 2004 - ten years ago.

BOR went to the Harvard School of Government. He hasn't attended a School of Economics or have taken a class in economics.

The apartheid government in South Africa instituted a high minimum wage. Was their intention to help the poor Blacks in South Africa earn a living wage? Oh no, the purpose was to make it easy to discriminate against the poor blacks and hire white workers instead.

So, BOR, higher minimum wages hurt the poor blacks in America as well. In fact, the bill to raise the minimum wage could be called "The Increase Black Unemployment Act".
