>> How is it racist and anti labor?

Really? You have to ask?


Dave, go read the entire article here:

americanthinker.com

The sole basis for your's and the author's position re min wage is taken from Milton Friedman's position on the issue.......all it is his theory and just like his trickle down BS its not a very good theory. Friedman was a major adviser to Reagan and we've seen that most of Reagan's economic policies did not work long term. So I am not sure why you continue to give this guy so much credibility.

As for this comment:

Even more significantly, an unemployment gap opened between the rates for white and black teenagers…

Either Friedman was excessively naive or he's trying to dupe people like you. There is always an employment gap between white and black teens; just as there is an employment gap between white and black adults. And it has absolutely nothing to do with the min wage.
