CEO of Euro Pacific Capital Peter Schiff does not believe the US should have a minimum wage – let alone have a discussion about raising the minimum wage. I find that opinion extremely disheartening but it was his thoughtful response to Samantha Bee that makes me think, “What a dick.”
Schiff: “If we eliminated the minimum wage law then individuals would be free to accept jobs at whatever pay they’re able to get.”
Bee: “Paint me a picture of a person whose work would be worth $2 an hour.”
Schiff: “You know somebody who might be? Maybe somebody who is, uh, you know, what’s the politically correct word? Uh, you know, uh, for, uh, you know, mentally retarded?”

I’d like to see “Dick” live on $7.50/hr.
