Oh, this is a good one. You can’t rush into the video. It’s so juicy and satisfying that you have to slow down for a moment. Delayed gratification is worth it on this one. You’ll never, in your whole life, be more satisfied than when you watch this video.
Let’s set it up. What is one of the longest running economic arguments between the right and the left? You might answer socialism, and you’re half right.
In this case, it’s a more specific policy: minimum wage. The left always wants to raise it. The right thinks we’d be better off letting the market set it.
These arguments never end well for the left. You can very easily point out the flawed logic. Just ask them why we don’t set the minimum wage to $1 million an hour.
Eventually, you can see the gears turn as they realize that raising the minimum wage never actually helps anyone. It simply pushes inflation and cuts minimum wage hours. Every. Time.
Ok, that’s enough setup. In this video, Bernie Sanders actually proves why a $15 minimum wage is a bad idea. It’s amazing. The only way this video could be better is if he had been caught on tape figuring out basic payroll.
Don’t worry. Simply hearing about the story is good enough. Don’t cut out early. There’s a cherry on top near the end.
