I dare liberals to buy a McDonald’s franchise, and pay the workers $15 an hour

Liberals are always talking about how easy it would be for McDonald’s to pay its workers $15 an hour.

However, so far, no liberal has actually bought a McDonald’s franchise and paid those wages.

So, I dare liberals to prove that it’s as easy as they claim it is. I dare liberals to buy a McDonald’s franchise, and pay the workers $15 an hour.

It’s just like helping the unfortunate. Joe Biden thinks you should be generous with your money to help the needy then gives $300 a year to charity.

Liberals talk out of both sides of their mouths. “Its good for you but not for me”.

They’d be happy to do so and prove you wrong...just as soon as they got a foundation grant to buy the franchise, an interest-free taxpayer-backed loan to develop the restaurant site, a block grant from the Office of Job Training Programs to offset the wages, and a nice package of tax incentives as a reward for employing disadvantaged youths.

Liberals only spend other people’s money.

Go for full automation and pay the software engineers and suppliers who are off site what they are worth. No more bad attitude, resentful and incompetent store help.

Minimum skillset. Minimum motivation. Minimum education. Minimum attitude. Minimum wage.

What’s so difficult about that?

I think $300 is the cash figure. He gives almost double that in used clothing and household goods. < / sarcasm >

If they did, they would get government subsidies to make sure it “succeeded”.

You make the mistake of thinking that it’s about what they say it’s about.

It’s REALLY about “I feel good about myself for advocating a living wage”.

The thinking stops right there.

Biden, the Clintons, John Kerry, all of their charitable contributions put together would not equal 1/100 of those given by Romney or Bush.

It’s time for the fast food corporations to gather an exit strategy to get out of these “third-world hellhole” cities in America.

Because if it were done, you'd hear them boasting loud and clear, so everyone could hear them:

Look!!! It can be done, because I've done it!!!!

CA....

You are right on.

It has nothing to do with ‘helping poor’ (of course they need those to mindlessly voting for Dems’ policies).

It is EVERYTHING to do with feeling good about themselves.

A girl I went to High School with was on Facebook ranting about Beach Houses and how no one who owns a McDonald’s should be allowed to buy one until all the employees can buy their own homes. She was absolutely insane.

The problem with that that even if they bought one and paid that wage, where are they going to keep borrowing the money to pay their bills and the corporate rents and and fees? It’s hard to survive when all your accounts are in the red. But as the author says, thats why the liberals don’t do it.

Ask the liberals why they don’t just pay them $30.00 per hour. Why not guarantee them all $100,000 per year.

They still couldn’t grasp the problems with that

This $15.00 per hour is part of Obama’s Alinsky tactics before the elections to motivate their ignorant masses. Just like the Occupy Wallstreet garbage. Unions were behind that too.
