"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton |

"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldnt make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan |

"A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 |
|
"It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams |
|
"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams |

Why are all these candidates accepting the premise of the minimum-wage?
States have the power to raise or lower their own minimum-wages. There's no need for one at the federal level.

Mr. Carson should stay home and not muddy the waters.

A government that can mandate a minimum wage can also mandate a maximum wage.

“However, recognize that if you go and take that chicken job, you gain skills, relationships...”
If a business man is being forced to pay $15 an hour, it will be for some college grad or 30-something looking for work. He won’t take the risk on a pimply-faced 17-year old.

An adviser needs to explain to Ben that the real minimum wage is $0.00 per hour. It’s impossible to change that, but politicians can guarantee that a, ever larger number of men and women earn it.
