got Rand Paul last time I did this

IIRC, I had Bernie Sanders w/ some high percentage. Second place was Rand Paul on economic issues I think, since I don't support raising the minimum wage.

If I may ask, why?

For smaller businesses, it ramps up their payroll expenses. When cities/states have raised the minimum wage in the past, it precipitates an increase in unemployment. From my perspective, jobs that pay badly are better than no jobs at all.

I think that a huge step towards fixing the problem would be pressuring huge corporations like McDonalds to pay their employees a living wage (since they can actually afford it without any issue). But there's just really no way to do that in a fashion that's 'fair'.

I just want to make sure that you're aware its a gradual increase to $15 by like 2020. I do like your idea to keep small business out of the increase. I'd think a massive tax break might even be a fair way to do it.

Seattle passed something similar, and the resulting job losses for the month afterwards were the worst since the housing market crCIA.

I got Ben Carson but I just zipped through this without going through the extra questions or putting down which are the most important.

Not too surprising tbh, considering Sanders' policies are very close to what we have in Sweden right now.
