Republican Candidate: "I Do Not Support A Livable Wage" (VIDEO) - YouTube
Channel: The Young Turks
[0]
>>AN UPCOMING SPECIAL ELECTION
IN GEORGIA, WHICH IS ALREADY
[3]
KNOWN TO BE THE MOST EXPENSIVE
CONGRESSIONAL RACE IN U.S.
[6]
HISTORY, IS BACK IN THE NEWS
BECAUSE OF WHAT HAPPENED AT A
[9]
DEBATE LAST NIGHT.
[11]
THE QUESTION
OF THE LIVING WAGE CAME UP, AND
[13]
IN THIS VIDEO YOU WILL SEE THE
DEMOCRAT, JOHN OSSOFF, AND THE
[17]
REPUBLICAN, KAREN HANDEL, AND
THEIR ANSWERS COULDN'T BE
[21]
MORE DIFFERENT AND PERHAPS MORE
CONSEQUENTIAL TO THE RACE
[24]
GOING FORWARD.
[25]
>>DOES EITHER CANDIDATE SUPPORT
A MINIMUM WAGE INCREASE?
[29]
MR.
[30]
OSSOFF?
[31]
>>THE MINIMUM WAGE SHOULD BE A
LIVING WAGE.
[34]
IF SOMEONE IS
[35]
WORKING A 40 HOUR WORKWEEK THEY
DESERVE THE KIND OF STANDARD OF
[38]
LIVING THAT AMERICANS EXPECT,
THAT'S PART OF THE AMERICAN
[41]
DREAM AND THERE ARE TWO MONEY
FOLKS HAVING TROUBLE MAKING
[43]
ENDS MEET.
[44]
>>THIS IS THE FUNDAMENTAL
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A LIBERAL AND
[48]
CONSERVATIVE, I DON'T SUPPORT A
LIVABLE WAGE.
[52]
SUPPORT IS MAKING
[53]
SURE WE HAVE AN ECONOMY THAT IS
ROBUST WITH LOW TAXES AND LESS
[58]
REGULATION SO THAT THOSE SMALL
BUSINESSES THAT WOULD BE
[61]
DRAMATICALLY HURT IF YOU IMPOSE
HIGHER MINIMUM WAGES ON THEM CAN
[65]
DO WHAT THEY DO BEST, GROW JOBS
AND CREATE GOOD PAYING JOBS FOR
[69]
PEOPLE IN THE SIXTH DISTRICT.
[71]
>>GOOD PAYING JOBS, WHICH I WANT
TO REPEAT, I DON'T CARE ABOUT.
[74]
>>SHE THOUGHT SHE NAILED IT AT
THE END.
[77]
>>WHAT WAS AMAZING IS THAT
STATEMENT SEEMED REHEARSED.
[82]
I
[83]
DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS PART OF THE
SCRIPT SHE REHEARSED OR IF SHE
[87]
REALIZED WHAT SHE SAID OR IF SHE
MISSPOKE, BUT IT WAS A FREUDIAN
[91]
SLIP AT THE VERY LEAST.
[93]
AND I
THINK IT'S SO SYMBOLIC OF HOW
[96]
SOME ON THE RIGHT, AND HONESTLY
SOME ON THE LEFT TOO, THINK WHEN
[100]
IT COMES TO THE ISSUE OF
MINIMUM-WAGE AND INCREASING IT
[103]
TO AN ACTUAL, LIVABLE WAGE.
[105]
IT'S
AN UPHILL BATTLE FOR
[107]
PROGRESSIVES WHO GENUINELY WANT
THAT.
[109]
AND I LOVE LISTENING TO
[112]
ARGUE IS ABOUT WAGES BECAUSE
SOME PEOPLE WHO ARE SMALL
[116]
BUSINESS OWNERS DO BRING UP AN
INTERESTING POINT ABOUT HOW IT
[120]
IS DIFFICULT FOR THEM TO
MAINTAIN THEIR BUSINESS, TO
[124]
BALANCE THEIR BUSINESS BUDGET,
AND STILL PAY WHAT THE MINIMUM
[128]
WAGE IS IN A PLACE LIKE LOS
ANGELES, FOR INSTANCE, WHERE IT
[131]
IS HIGHER THAN MOST PARTS OF THE
COUNTRY.
[133]
WE HAD THAT
[134]
CONVERSATION, JOHN, DURING A
PRODUCTION MEETING ONCE.
[138]
YOU
[139]
COULD HELP THOSE SMALL
BUSINESSES IF YOU ARE PART OF A
[142]
GOVERNMENT THAT GENUINELY CARES
ABOUT LIFTING THEM UP AND
[146]
PROTECTING THEM AND SUPPORTING
THEM, YOU COULD SUBSIDIZE THESE
[148]
SMALL BUSINESSES AS OPPOSED TO
SUBSIDIZING BIG OIL COMPANIES
[151]
THAT DON'T NEED SUBSIDIES.
[152]
>>I AGREE THAT SAYING I DON'T
SUPPORT A LIVABLE WAGE IS TO
[157]
SOME EXTENT A FREUDIAN SLIP, BUT
SHE DID MEAN I DON'T SUPPORT A
[161]
LIVING WAGE.
[163]
SHE TALKS ABOUT I
DON'T THINK WE SHOULD PRIORITIZE
[166]
HOW MUCH A PERSON MAKES, AND
THEN SHE GOES ON TO TALK ABOUT
[168]
COMPANIES AND THEIR PROFITS AND
THEIR GROWTH, WHICH MEANS SHE
[172]
SUPPORTS BASICALLY THE
EQUIVALENT OF A LIVABLE WAGE FOR
[175]
CORPORATIONS, NONHUMAN ENTITIES.
[177]
SHE CARES ABOUT THAT, SHE WANTS
[179]
TO MAKE SURE THEY DON'T DIE ON
THE STREET, BUT THE INDIVIDUALS
[182]
WHO ACTUALLY WORK FOR THEM, HEY,
MAYBE IF WE HELP OUT THE
[185]
BUSINESSES SOMEDAY IT WILL HELP
YOU INDIVIDUALS TOO.
[189]
THAT IS SO
[190]
PERVERSE.
[191]
WHAT IS MORALITY IF
IT'S NOT GROUNDED IN CONCERNS
[193]
ABOUT PEOPLE.
[194]
IF WE ARE WORRIED
ABOUT WHETHER SOME LEGAL
[197]
CONSTRUCT IS DOING WELL, THEN
WHAT IS OUR SOCIETY FOR IF WE
[202]
AREN'T PRIORITIZING PEOPLE OVER
CORPORATIONS?
[205]
AND I WOULD LIKE
[206]
TO APPLAUD HER FOR HER HONESTY,
AND PROCEED THAT BY SAYING LET'S
[210]
MAKE CLEAR THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN A DEMOCRAT AND
[213]
REPUBLICAN.
[214]
AND THAT DIFFERENCE IS VERY
CLEAR AFTER WATCHING THAT.
[216]
>>TO RESPOND TO BOTH OF YOU, I
THINK IT IS REHEARSED.
[218]
I THINK
[219]
IT'S THE SAME SCRIPT WE HEAR
FROM MOST CONSERVATIVES, THIS
[222]
CONFLATION OF THESE CODEWORDS
WITH AMERICAN VALUES.
[225]
DEREGULATION, MORE CHOICE --
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
[228]
HOW DO WE
[229]
IMPLEMENT THAT?
[230]
AND SAYING SMALL
BUSINESSES WILL BE HARMED.
[233]
WHAT
[234]
ABOUT PEOPLE?
[235]
BUT THEY DON'T IN
FACT CARE ABOUT PEOPLE.
[236]
CAPITAL
[237]
IS WHAT THEY CARE ABOUT.
[238]
AND I
THINK SHE MAKES THAT VERY CLEAR.
[240]
UNFORTUNATELY IS CODED IN THIS
LANGUAGE AND IT MAKES
[243]
PEOPLE THINK CONSERVATIVES DON'T
CARE ABOUT YOUR WELL-BEING,
[246]
AND THEY DON'T MOST OFTEN.
[249]
>>ALSO THEIR ECONOMIC STRUCTURE
HAS FAILED US TIME AND AGAIN,
[254]
RIGHT?
[255]
IT'S NOT LIKE, OH, IT'S A
NEW IDEA THAT WE HAVEN'T TRIED
[260]
OUT YET, WHY DON'T WE CUT TAXES
FOR THESE COMPANIES AND NOT
[267]
INCREASE THE MINIMUM WAGE --
LET'S LEAVE THINGS THE WAY THEY
[270]
ARE.
[271]
WE HAVE A CASE STUDY, IT'S
OBVIOUS THAT IT DOESN'T WORK.
[274]
WAGES HAVE BEEN STAGNANT.
[275]
IF YOU
LOOK SPECIFICALLY AT MILITARY
[277]
CONTRACTORS LIKE BOEING,
RAYTHEON, THOSE TYPES OF
[282]
CORPORATIONS, NAOMI, WHO IS ONE
OF OUR REPORTERS, LOOKED INTO
[287]
HOW MUCH THEY HAVE PROFITED OVER
THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS WHILE
[290]
SIMULTANEOUSLY CUTTING TENS OF
THOUSANDS OF JOBS -- SO THEM
[294]
EARNING MORE REVENUE DOESN'T
TRANSLATE TO THEM HIRING MORE
[298]
PEOPLE, IT'S ACTUALLY
QUITE THE OPPOSITE.
[301]
HER TYPE OF THINKING IS VERY
HARMFUL FOR THE AVERAGE
[304]
AMERICAN.
