Chris Coleman's interview as thinking about the minimum wage
and he's upset banners up said they're also how dare you raise the minimum wage
actually help working americans nao that some were supposed to do
Worli congressman which was a spit on them and then tell 'em it's trickle-down
economics
so Chris Cuomo chose them on that in a good very professional I like slot
I'll assume disasters you know a lotta members of your party
are in favor of raising the minimum wage they understand that yeah
there is something troubling about the fact that are minimum-wage keep someone
below the poverty line I'm sure you can recognize that right
have been there and paid to do just something about it that's almost
visceral side from political
that when are set minimum wage keep someone below the line to poverty
you have a problem agreed well I would say this said and there's as a low
percentage of people that work under minimum wage
and his answering wrong number yet menace entry-level
it teaches a work ethic and here's the other side of that equation that's the
assumption that all young kids
it's only 20 percent teenagers these days common you know the stuff you know
a lot of families getting by
forty-six percent in their family income minimum wage income
you're here said the other side of that equation up as wherever you raise the
minimum wage you necessarily cost jobs because
some employers will decide I can't afford any longer
here that is absolutely not true as usual steve King
recent study shows that if you raise a minimum wage you'd actually at $28
billion dollars the economy
you would create jobs the woods people
that spend most of their income would have more income to spend that would go
back into the economy that would
stimulate the economy you have to hire more people now they're is their point
where the minimum wage could be so high
that would actually begin to cost jobs yes sir s okay
are we any where near that's a joke there were not anyway
we're on the opposite side of it do you know that if the minimum wage can
a kept up with productivity since 1960 right now would be nearly twenty two
dollars an hour
sorry graduations american workers as I've said many times
you did a great job being productive now you should be getting about twenty two
dollars an hour at a minimum wage for that
are you no right now at seven thousand 25 cents
and this guy says that he doesn't believe in a min wage at all
should be even lower and by the work with the work ethic
takes or now so you tell me steve King they've been sitting in pay 7000 25 says
you're paid nine dollars the president proposes or
god forbid ten dollars the somehow you have less homework I think the hollow
I'm getting tired bucks an hour mad as I could take it easy and only to work that
much
that's your logic these guys don't give a damn about you
I want more here the minimum wage is a government or for interfering in between
the relationship between the employer and the employee
an indiana you think there should be no minimum II well I think that we should
have done this
left a minimum wage alone and just let it drift away
and let the economy grow the way that some people haven't gotten in real
dollars adjusted inflation a raise in 20 years
I mean how can you believe that you're going to support the American Dream on
families
I could stifle that way there's a I have been an employee
at work at minimum wage I'm in an employer for 28 years
we've never paid minimum wage we've always pay more than that if you can
legislate a minimum wage and
stand this congress can decide what that number should be then you can also buy
the same logic
I've met him legislate and pay a living wage and if you can legislate a living
wage you can also legislate prosperity
someplace up their scale people drop off their up on all the way up the scale
I'd really have more americans working not less I know I was awesome
so he says well how do you think at an average man can actually work on some
doesn't work or live on seven dollars and twenty five cents an hour
steve King says no I think you can confuse me with someone who gives a ***
okay no no I don't care about that miss
he says there should be no minimum wage law or he should work for less than
7,000 25 secs
and he says at one point while a guy who I work for minimum wage when twenty
years ago thirty years ago when it actually
was a decent minimum wage in you have a raise a sense am there be tiny raise
what has kept up with inflation is certainly as I just told you
as a capella product every right he's a good I already got mine
I don't give a damn about those guys right and then
he says I mean you give a min wage next thing you know
might wanna living wage hope ball heaven for fender I wouldn't want dad
if there's somebody can actually earn a decent living do an honest day's job
know when and how would seem Kings donors get even richer
