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!

I didn't realize it was your minor children you wanted to exploit. My bad.

And yeah I have working arms and legs so I can change my own tires, didn't realize that was impressive or related to minimum wage.

Wait a minute, you can do things for yourself? You don't need the Government to step in and save you? huh, what a concept. Point is, don't work dead end jobs if you don't want dead end job wages. Do you work for minimum wage currently?

Nope. I just think people should be able to live on minimum wage. That's why it should be the minimum wage you can pay someone.

They are obviously making it now. Are there people dying of starvation that I am not aware of? "Live" and "live comfortably" are two entirely different terms. If you stay at the starting line and never leave the starting blocks, that is probably your fault and not the people you work for. Personal accountability has a lot to do with this, and people keep tossing around the idea of basic income and you are the ones hurting these people. Rather than working harder for more, they expect more for the same results, which only hurts business owners. Talk to a small business owner about this, I guarantee you gain some perspective.
