We now need a translator in order to understand Jeb Bush?
Really?
His comments about work was tangent to the issues of the ACA and income inequality. The answer he proposes is far from where the country is.
He mentioned the ACA has reduced the hours of workers to 30 hours per week. What is going to cure that? Recalling the ACA. That is what Bush is alluding to. I mean we are all allowed to translate right?
Income inequality is reflected in the fact all people need to do better by working longer hours. He isn't talking to the public. He is talking to the Republican base. What would the Republican base believe those comments are contextualized in? Minimum wage to begin with. Jeb Bush is different than the other Republicans in the field. He speaks tangentially to hide his extremist views that are no different than the rest of the Republican field.

But the state's experience may give pause to a crowded field of Republican presidential hopefuls who largely swear by tax cuts and small government as a recipe for prosperity.
Judged by those standards this state on the Canadian border should be a train wreck in process.
Instead, Democratic Governor Mark Dayton's Minnesota could become a touchstone in the national debate over how to bolster the middle class - an example of how solid growth and low unemployment can coexist with some of the highest income and corporate tax rates in the country.
Born into family wealth but a left-leaning Democrat by temperament, Dayton said in an interview that, to him, one fix for income inequality was pretty obvious: take some from the better off and spread it around.
"The wealthiest pay a smaller percentage of local tax than anyone, all the way down to the bottom," Dayton told Reuters. "From a tax equity standpoint I felt an additional two percent on the wealthiest two percent was appropriate."...
