Who do you trust the economy to, Obama or Gates and Buffet?

You must trust your economy to your President. He is the person elected to do the job,and he does it best of all.

Raising the minimum wage does nothing for the economy, but does put people out of work. A company forced to pay more will hire less and end up firing some to pay more to the others. Then those people usually young people are placed on unemployment or welfare. Once there they are stuck, so raising the minimum wage is a vehicle to make people dependent on the government for their subsistence.

BUFFET, OF COURSE. Minimum wage jobs are for high school students and housewifes to earn a little extra spending money, they aren't meant to be careers. Raising the minimum will just raise the price of EVERYTHING, hurting more people than it helps. We gotta dump this stupid service-based economy and start manufacturing things again. Ya can't get anywhere if I buy a chesseburger from you and you buy a taco from me. Ya gotta EXPORT stuff. NAFTA was the worst deal for America EVER. Our companies are saddled with OSHA and Unions and the DEP and paying a decent wage, How can they possibly compete with third world countries?

Actually Warren Buffet said he wanted the minimum wage to be $15 per hour:
