Independent Florida governor candidate, economist Farid Khavari says conservatives should embrace higher minimum wages even more fervently than liberals do. Holding down wages has vastly increased government’s costs of corporate welfare.

Remarks by Farid A. Khavari, candidate for Florida Governor 2014 to the Clean Water Rally, Ft. Myers, FL We need to stop fracking in Florida or our clean water and clean land can be destroyed forever. If we sold the water we dumped in the ocean last year for a penny a gallon, it would have been $5 billion. If that water had been clean, at 15 cents a gallon it would have covered the entire budget of the State of Florida.

Education spending is already plenty, but not enough is allocated to teacher pay! In Florida we spend almost $9,000 per year per student for grades K-12. That is about 50% more than the tuition and fees at Florida State University! How much of that is paid to teachers? Not enough, that's for sure.

The Crises of Costs and Social Costs The biggest shortcoming associated with the conventional economic concepts is the permanently rising cost. Since we cannot combat the costs caused by the conventional economic concepts, we need to introduce and implement a new economic concept that yields just the opposite results by reversing and decelerating the process of cost.
