this sir california millionaire is trying to get the
minimum wage in California raise to 12 bucks an hour by 2016
why because he wants to because he's a conservative Republican
and thinks it's crazy that the government is providing
a trillion dollars over five years the governor California trillion dollars
over five years
to in benefits and you know stuff like food stamps in medicare like us up in
benefits to people who are actually working
full-time at the minimum wage because if you work full time in the minimum wage
you make so little that you still
are in poverty and you qualify for these government benefits and this
was the dis this is how you know clinton-gingrich quote ended poverty
her ended welfare as we know it they time-limited said you can be an offer
for more than five years
and the whole idea was you know we're gonna stop multi-generational welfare
during the reagan administration this they had spun out this myth
that are black girl specifically it was this is
morning was racist myths that have that was ever put out
that black teenage girls wanted
would try to get pregnant in school so that they could then get government
benefits
and live independently and have a good happy life the rest they in fact they
try to have as many babies as a good cuz I got paid for each baby
and
II had a it's just
it's mindboggling that anybody would a believe that
or be that we would be basing policy on it but
both happened and so they said okay let's just cut him off
at five years period and that was
the the welfare reforms the clinton-gingrich did and
but they said but wait a minute these people are still poor I mean even if
they're working
we're gonna force me go back to work after five years they have to go to work
but the kids in child care whatever it takes but they gotta go to work
but they're still poor
so we have to give benefits to working people
and this invented a new business model
so bunche company said hey this is cool if we pay very very little money
the minimum wage or close to it then
you know people come work for us and we're only paying like
you know fifty to seventy percent of the cost to their living
typically you know how to present your cost linens
paid for by your job but the
the 30 to 50 percent that isn't paid for with that at the minimum wage for this
you know it's picked up by the state so this republic this is the Saqib say
mister republicans want you get behind increase in the minimum wage
it would reduce government benefits
you have people who are no longer in poverty
and
Iran's is name and he's is pushing this thing
i mean you know Jerry Brown just raise the minimum wage to $10 bucks over the
next two years but he's bronze wants to go twelve dollars
is at that point you're gonna get enough people who no longer qualify for state
benefits that you're gonna save the state
a trillion dollars over five years so basically he's a multi-millionaire
and doesn't wanna pay taxes with money going to poor people
is a conservative and
the we've got this business model where the money is going to poor people it's
just it's totally bizarre
