Recall candidate Larry Elder says California's minimum wage should be '$0'

California gubernatorial recall candidate Larry Elder slammed the state's minimum wage on Tuesday, saying it should be much lower: zero.

The conservative radio-host-turned-Newsom-challenger criticized the state's Democratic-led government for imposing a $14 minimum wage for businesses with 26 or more employees and $13 for those employing fewer than 26 people, saying officials are interfering in places they shouldn't.

The ideal minimum wage is $0.00,” Elder, 69, told the editorial boards of California's McClatchy-owned newspapers.

Right-wing radio talk show host Larry Elder speaks to supporters in Norwalk, CA.

Elder, the highest-polling Republican running for governor in the Sept. 14 recall election, had filed incomplete tax returns that are required to run - but reiterated his belief the minimum wage should be abolished.

He's not going to get too far. Radio talk show guys only do it for the publicity.
