Trump Backs Higher Taxes for the Rich, Higher Minimum Wage
----------------------------------------------------------

Trump also shifted his stance on economic issues over the weekend,
saying the rich should pay more taxes. He also suggested the minimum
wage is too low-but said states should decide whether to increase wages.

Donald Trump: "I think people should get more. I think they're out
there, they're working. It is a very low number, you know, with what's
happened to the economy, with what's happened to the cost. I mean, it's
just-I don't know how you live on $7.25 an hour. But I would say, let
the states decide."
