Let’s Talk About… The Minimum Wage

Everybody wants to make more money. It doesn’t seem right that someone working full-time should struggle to feed themselves and their family. That’s why many people argue for a higher minimum wage. But is it a deal too good to be true? Like many well-intentioned government interventions, mandated minimum wages tend to hurt the very people they are designed to help. Instead of lifting people at the margins out of poverty, the minimum wage locks them out of the job market entirely, giving them no path to achieve financial independence and the self-worth that comes with it. Matt Kibbe explains it all in this episode of Let’s Talk About…

Free the People’s mission is simple—to make the values of liberty entertaining, accessible, and human. Free the People deliberately explores issues that bridge the partisan divide—topics like criminal justice reform, health care choice, and opposing corporate cronyism. We produce documentary films, video web series, and podcasts that illuminate the people and ideas changing the world for the better. We reach audiences across the political spectrum as a rational but passionate voice for liberty.

Free the People specializes in video production, creative storytelling, and social media engagement. We are building a community of people who believe in the values of freedom, entrepreneurship, individual responsibility, choice, and peaceful cooperation. Free the People finds and tells stories of people affecting positive change in their community through entrepreneurship and innovation. We defend free choice in everything from drug policy, to health care and retirement, to every aspect of the sharing economy. Our values, like "equal treatment under the law" and "innocent until proven guilty," animate fights for criminal justice reform. We tell the stories of people who have lived through the hardships of authoritarianism and collectivism throughout history. We show our viewers that beautiful things can happen when free people come together to make the world a better place.
