And the National Restaurant Association is just a big lobby group.

On the issue of the minimum wage, I fully support their lobbying efforts. Along with Big Labor's thugocracy (which needs to be attacked via RICO), the minimum wage continues to put the brakes on free market capitalism.

Minimum wage in restaurants (with tipping) is different. They do not pay their employees minimum wage. If their tips do not fulfill the minimum rate then the restaurant owner has to make up the difference.

No matter...It's still a big lobby group...favors owners?? or workers??
