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.

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?

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

I’m not looking for an argument here,but how would you know that?

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.

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

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.

I hope they get that increase, then let the food chain automate the whole system, fire about 75% then they will have no one to blame except the unions that are trying to destroy these businesses.

Had a local McD’s that was going to be forced to raise wages to $10.10 an hour under Obama’s government contractor law. They closed.

Everyone will beat down their doors to get an application. And they'll have to turn the majority of them away.

And then those guys will lawyer up and sue for job discrimination or something, and that's even before the first burger is flipped.

Well, Warren (I don’t pay enough taxes) the tax cheat Buffett owns Dairy Queen and you can bet your ass he doesn’t pay them $15/hr.

Except for the managers/owners these are entry level jobs and still are even though many experienced workers are forced into those positions as a result of the fascist Kenyan’s policies.

DQ, McD’s etc generally have a lot of workers where service is unknown. They all seem to want to take the “fast” out of fast food.

Whenever liberals raise the minimum wage (either by law or by protest) who gets hurt the most? Ask your teenager about all his friends who can’t find jobs.

Most people believe it’ll be a three way split: prices up about 15%, franchise profits down a third, and brand/franchisor profits down about a third. So if a McDonald’s is worth $10mm now it’ll be worth $7mm in a $15/hour wage world, and McDonald’s, Burger King, etc., would have their market caps decline accordingly.
