Henry Ford had the clearest vision of why companies can actually benefit by paying higher wages.

The problem with Mr. Obama is that you get more regulation and it's a disincentive for businessmen to hire people. You probably also get higher taxes, so in terms of the economy, he is very negative in my view.
