So, three years ago, Liberals in Seattle insisted on raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour.

Business owners and others warned that it would cost jobs and hurt the economy.

Now, a study conducted by economists at the University of Washington confirms what everybody

knew except the left. Instead of helping workers, the minimum wage increase hurt them.

The study found a dramatic effect on business owners who stopped hiring. They reduced hours for

existing workers and they let other workers go. The study estimates that the average low-wage

worker in Seattle lost $125 a month due to the minimum wage increase. The losses it caused far

outweighed any benefits. Now, I told you Monday on my show what's happening in McDonald's.

Their stock was tanking. They turned it around when they began installing thousands of robot

kiosks to bring down labor costs. The kiosks don't demand $15 an hour. Liberals believe that

business owners have piles of cash sitting around unused. That can support the costly policies

and the left demands, but it doesn't work like that. Keeping labor costs under control is crucial

to the survival of any business and knowing what they are. When Liberals arrogantly raise those

costs arbitrarily, it always hurts the employees. They are the ones that suffer. But even with this

fresh evidence, Liberals will never admit that they were wrong. They'll find ways to inflict even

more pain on the economy and kill more jobs. That's just what they do when they're trying to help people.
