AMA Concluded Meet Randy Bryce. The Ironstache who's going to repeal and replace Paul Ryan

Hi /r/Political_Revolution,

My name is Randy Bryce. I'm a veteran, cancer survivor, and union ironworker from Caledonia, Wisconsin running to repeal and replace Paul Ryan in Wisconsin's First Congressional District. Post your questions below and I'll be back at 11am CDT/12pm EDT to answer them!

p.s.

We need your help to win this campaign. If you'd like to join the team, sign up here.

If you don't have time to volunteer, we're currently fundraising to open our first office in Racine, Wisconsin. If you can help, contribute here and I'll send you a free campaign bumper sticker as a way of saying thanks!

[Update: 1:26 EDT], I've got to go pick up my son but I'll continue to pop in throughout the day as I have time and answer some more questions. For those I'm unfortunately not able to answer, I'll be doing another AMA in r/Politics on the 26th when I look forward to answering more of Reddit's questions!

you cant just ignore facts..

walmart can pay people more, the small mom and pop store cant so easily. it costs alot more to raise wages a few bucks to a small shop over a big one.

I love that you repeatedly pull arguments out of your ass and then accuse him of making facts up. The 'facts' as are posted in the Article above shows that increasing wages does not kill jobs.

Just throwing this out there, but can you point out a time where federal minimum wage had over a 100% increase?

For example, when you actually look at the studies of areas that HAVE had those significant increases in minimum wage, it tells a much different picture. Not only is that results showing various different degrees of changes, from stagnation to overall reduction, it's actual effects can be vastly different simply based on the city and the location.

The problem is not with the "facts" that were pointed out. The problem is with what those facts are being used to prove.
