What happens when the tea party goes to Washington
Dave Brat wants to bring libertarian economics to the U.S., and double-down on 33 miserable years of Reaganomics. Yesterday, fresh off his primary upset of House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, the Tea Partying Brat was interviewed by MSNBC’s Chuck Todd. Todd asked the Ayn Rand-inspired Koch Brothers-funded economics professor, “Where are you on the minimum wage? Do you believe in it, and would you raise it?”
After stumbling for a bit, Brat replied, “Minimum wage, no, I'm a free market guy. Our labor markets right now are already distorted from too many regulations. I think CATO estimates there's $2 trillion of regulatory problems and then throw Obamacare on top of that, the work hours is 30 hours a week. You can only hire 50 people. There's just distortion after distortion after distortion and we wonder why our labor markets are broken.”
So, not only did Brat say he doesn’t believe in the minimum wage, he also implied that he’s in favor of continuing the Reaganomics policies that have destroyed our country, and destroyed the middle-class. Believe it or not, there was a time in America when the middle-class was booming, and when libertarian economics was just a pipe dream.
