Ok then, but who will buy a Big Mac for $14.00 when you can grill a pound and a half Angus with potato?

You can argue against raising the minimum wage without ridiculous hyperbole. Do you realize the labor is only 25% of the total cost of a fast food meal? So do the math; doubling min wage will only increase the retail price by 25%.

The price of that potato alone would be $14. Vicious cycle.
