Gwen has an interest in fast food workers earning more money.

After her gig in Congress is up, she may be reduced to flipping burgers or mopping the floors.

Assuming she’s even qualified for that.

Another Congress critter who enjoys the free labor of internships while decrying companies that actually pay their workers...

Congresscritter Gwen wants that raise to go through, because it means more workers off the job and on the dole, which means more government dependents, which means more RAT votes. Robbing Peter to pay Paul always gets Paul’s vote!

Moore knows that if it wasn’t for Congress and dumbass voters, she’d be flipping burgers or cleaning motel rooms herself.

Do we need fast food?

Um...yes, we do. Franchises are one of the ways in which an average Joe can, through lots of hard work, rise through the ranks into management or even become financially independent. Many McDonald's owners started with the company by flipping burgers.

What we need less of are parasites.

I don’t think fast food pays you for hours not worked

The Union A$$hats are leading these burger flippers around by the nose. Do they really think they are going to get 15 bucks and hour?!

Oh please...please...please...let them get their $15/hr so I can hear them say: “I’d be making $15/hr if I still had a job.”

No, let them keep their job @$15 so I can hear them say "What the F' happened to all the help, why do I have to do so much more, What the hell? how come the taxes on my pay are so much higher, why the hell does everything cost so much"

There is nothing quite as satisfying as when reality bites them in the @ss.

They don’t usually.

I’m just trying to put a wedge between the “workers” and the “protesters”

working in fast food isn’t supposed to be a career.

Supreme Solar Allah was the rejected name for bankrupt Solyndra.
