#6  States and cities already mandate minimum wages. They just have to be higher than the federal rate. Champ has no problem with that...

#5  FDR's Supreme Court ruled that pretty much everything is interstate commerce, including not growing stuff.

#4  If its not interstate commerce, the feds have no say. All else is a judicial construct.

#3  Trump said he didn't know how people lived on $7.25 an hour...

Do I really have to shoot this bullshit down? It's simply astounding, the shit that comes out of Trump's mouth sometimes.

#2  Jerry Pournelle once made a point that USA success was, largely, based on letting each state experiment on it's own, and letting the people vote with their feet.

#1  Well... for $15/h in Iowa you would be living pretty well. In California... you would be on food stamps and homeless.

So yeah, letting states set their own minimum wage sounds pretty fucking smart.
