TYT: Donald Trump Wants Lower Minimum Wage



Donald Trump has become a very serious candidate on the Republican side. Despite his cartoonish antics, his economic ideas are no laughing matter. Cenk Uygur, host of the The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

"“Your slogan is ‘Make America Great Again,'” hostMika Brzezinski noted. “I’m curious on the issue of wages ,which have been flat for years now… do you think the minimum wage should be raised across the board?”

“Mika, it’s such a nasty question because the answer has to be nasty,” Trump said. “We’re in a global economy now. It used to be companies would leave New York State or leave another state and go to Florida, go to Texas, go to wherever they go because or lower wages…””*

Let's use other countries as leverage in order to build a more equitable form of poverty and assure American workers that their participation in the process means making the sacrifices necessary to build a third-world country, on bloviation at a time.

Lower wages should be an important agenda for all of us because it sure beats no wages at all, of course. Profit is a very sacred family value and what's the big deal if you and your kin live in your cars and shower at the car wash if it means making America great again? Without a willingness to make much needed sacrifices for the sake of the shareholders of this great country, you are only standing in the way of the many more trillions of dollars that are required by that deserving group of folks who are on their way, but JUST DON'T HAVE QUITE ENOUGH YET. Get real.

Go Trump! Trump/Melanoma 2016.
