All these people have the opportunity for a decent living. They just don’t want to work for it.
When I was an E4 in the Navy I think I made like $600 a month doing spec ops on submarines, on call 24/7 and normally doing 16 hr shifts while deployed.
$15 an hour for a 40 hour week works out to $600 a week
These punks can kiss my arse.
I always ask why they aren’t asking to work more hours.
It generally shuts them up.
And for the record,I worked in the galley on “My time” for free just so I would have a place to hang out and get first dibs on cinnamon rolls when they came out of the oven.
LOL!!!
It is a myth in the labor union movement that profits can be converted into additional wage payments. The fact is that profits as such are not actually available for redistribution. Profits are not, as most people appear to believe, a separable part of sales revenues that goes to the businessmen and capitalists, and which potentially could go elsewhere. Profits are actually an accounting abstraction-the difference between sales revenues and historical costs, that is past derived from previous outlays for labor and capital goods, made years in the past in many cases. They are not the difference between sales revenues and current outlays for labor and capital goods.
If a labor union still demanded the payment of additional wages out of profit, the possible sources would be a reduction of income to the owners, or a reduction in the demand for capital goods, or from funds obtained from outside the firm.
A reduction in income to owners results in large scale damage to the economy in the long run that results in harm to the true interests of the workers, because so long as the owners retain their capital, they have the power to go on consuming with little or no diminution, while if they lose that power they lose the incentive to accumulate and maintain capital.
A reduction in the demand for capital goods reduces the supply for capital goods, which means a reduction in physical capital accumulation, which reduces production and supply, which leads to higher prices and lower standard of living for the average worker.
Obtaining funds from other firms reduces the ability of the other firm to raise wage money wage rates of currently employed workers,and to hire new workers.
Pay them $15.00 per hour but they only work one hour per day.
As Ben Franklin said;
“I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it.”
For a graphic example watch the film Tobbaco Road (available now on You Tube) pay special attention to the rich do-gooders.
I remember the good old days when you applied for a Job and were happy as hell if they hired you. The last comment during the Interview was what your Salary would be.
I have been working in one sense or another since I was 10 years old. Paper Route, Mowing Lawns, Pulling Weeds, Painting Houses, Pumping Gas, whatever it took to make a buck.
When I got my first “real” Job at 18 back in 1972. The Application asked your “expected” Salary. I shot for the Moon and wrote down $400 a Month. After the Interview, the Lady told me that the Job only paid $360 a Month. I told her that was fine, and couldn’t believe my good fortune. It was a full time Job with Benefits, working Midnight to Eight. It was hard work and I had to drive about 20 Miles to get there.
Even getting that Job, I still worked seven days a week doing anything and everything I could find. As my Father once told me, you can only complain about a Job when someone forces you to do it with a Gun pointed at your head.
I know, this just sounds like one of those “I had to walk uphill in the Snow to School both ways” stories. LOL
I used to have to get up half of an hour before I went to bed and father would make us go out and lick the road clean....

“.. I know, this just sounds like one of those “I had to walk uphill in snow...”
No, it doesn’t. It sounds like a work ethic story. Not preaching but too many of today’s youth feel the world “owes” them something. Too many parents don’t discuss that success involves a lot of sweat and hard work. Like you, I actually cried with joy when I got my first job (minimum wage at Sears at 18). I was proud that I was chosen and motivated to do my absolute best. I guess with so many trophies awarded for showing up vs. success.. it moves onto adulthood.
Now you can complain when they just take half your earnings with a gun pointed to your head.
“Can you imagine paying that much for fast food?
These morons are ridiculous”

I can imagine it now but back when I used to pull up and honk my horn and have a REAL cheeseburger, fries and a twelve ounce beer brought to my car, give the carhop one dollar and tell him to keep the change and that was met with a smile and a big, “THANK YOU, SIR”, I could not imagine paying what fast food costs now.
Why just $15?
Why not a thousand dollars and hour... then he doesn’t have to work as hard or as long and can have much better vacations...
Or better, a million dollars and hour so he doesn’t have to work more than an hour every few years.
Really, we should as him.... why not a million bucks an hour? (I’ll bet he would know)
Agree. I think the Great All-knowing Obama should push for a $50 minimum wage to instantly catapult the poor downtrodden fast food workers into the middle class.
I remember talking to one of my employees at the metal fabrication company I owned about his habitual absences I asked him why he was only working 4 days out of 5. He told me that he worked 4 days cause he couldn’t make it on 3.
Tell your boss you want to work as many hours as possible and that you want him/her to call you if they ever need you to fill in for somebody else's shift.
Obamaphone
Section eight housing assistance
Food stamps
Medicaid
WIC (if her child is an infant)
Heating assistance (LIHEAP)
Free or low cost daycare
Etc., ad nauseam
No, you're an evil rich dude, you can pay more! You're a corporation!
Well, yes, most fast food franchises are publicly traded... but if we give less money to our shareholders, then they will sell their shares, and we will have to close stores and again, more innocent employees will suffer by losing their jobs.
Well then YOU should just take less yourself, so I can get more!
Well, I really don't make as much as you might think right now, but if I have to make even less for my investment here, then I might as well leave the business entirely, and invest in something else that will pay me the same, or more. And again, this restaurant you're picketing will be closed.
You can't DO that! You're selfish and unfair!
You mean I should not be allowed to look for the best return for my labor?
Damn right!!
But isn't that what you're doing, when you look for a job that pays $15 an hour, when most only make about half that?
Yeah, but I'm poor, and you're not!
So America should have different rules for the rich and the poor, so that only the poor can have success financially, and the rich must get as little as possible?
Yeah, that sounds good! And there are MANY more poor voters than you rich voters! Hah! Good luck keeping my demanded wages from me now!
Okay, well, my family and I, and all of our money, will be heading out to another country then. I hear Belize is nice all year round. Good luck in your job search, though.
But, hey! What about me? Know anyone hiring? Hello?
