Those disgusting, sexist Carls Jr commercials are just the tip of the iceburg. Shortened version for those who cannot check out the link-

*opposes overtime pay, basically stating that salaried employees are compensated in "prestige" and "a sense of ownership"

*prefers robot workers to humans because they "cannot complain about discrimination" and you don't have to pay them

*insists that low wage workers don't want high salaries as they miss out on "free stuff", courtesy of welfare (ignoring the fact that his companies don't pay anywhere near the high salaries he quoted)

* opposes a higher minimum wage and the ACA, claiming both hurt workers
