There are two interesting statistics on Barry's chart.

Will increase the minimum wage help and can the Government afford to do more?

Increasing the minimum wage without limiting migration and employing illegals won't help. It also won't help those without as job. Can the US Government afford to spend more of other people's money? Think on that one.

Neither Clinton or Trump have the qualities to lead the Free World, Obama had more qualities and was waylaid at every opportunity by the Republicans. Can the Free World afford to be led by people who are in the pockets of Big Corporations or Big Government? No to both.

The Big Corporations and billionaires should be banned from donating if they were drug dealers it would be illegal. Criminals and businessmen buy political power for the same reasons.

Big Government is also a big NO. Yesterday Claude Junker said there would be no access to the Single Market unless the UK accepts Freedom of Movement. Migration is tearing Europe apart, but this pipsqueak from a nothing principality who has never done anything of note. Is telling all Europe to take whoever decides to move. Will he pay for the houses, provide jobs, healthcare, etc? No, that's not his problem.

You have Big Business telling you and us what will happen. We have the EU.
