Sorry, any middle aged “man” who is still working at a fast food restaurant as anything but a manager or owner isn’t a man. He certainly isn’t providing for his family or paying for his way.

Just look at what cities aare involved. heavily unionized and for the most part in extreme financial trouble. Wonder what they would do if all those fast food places just closed their doors and left those cities?

I propose that everyone avoid fast food places altogether. Brown bag a healthy lunch and solve two problems at the same time. Have healthier food and eliminate those low paying jobs!

Meet Baxter, total hourly cost to own and operate: $5/hour and dropping. Baxter speaks proper English, doesn't take breaks, sleep, call in sick, sue, need healthcare, or spit in whitey's food.

Sounds to me like a lot of job openings coming soon in New York, Chicago, Detroit, Milwaukee, St Louis, Kansas City and Flint, Michigan.

Invader and other cheap foreign labor create too much supply for minimum wage jobs. Besides that, these places used to get their cheap labor from part time students and moms, now they have people who are surviving off their wages. The solution isn’t $15 an hour, but it also isn’t the situation we have now.

These idiots are wasting their time. The GOP is about ready to turn 30 to 50 million illegal “valedictorians” loose on the job market this fall with their “comprehensive” amnesty dream “reform” bill. These jerks need to stop worrying about a raise and worry about keeping their jobs.

I suggest they sit down with them and say “look, if we pay you $15 an hour, we are going to have to charge $3 a hamburger, and no one will buy them, and you will lsoon be unemployed

Tip of the iceberg.

As the economy continues in Obamastall mode and people don’t see any next rungs on the ladder to grasp, they will inevitably radicalize and turn their energies towards squeezing everything they can possibly get out of their current job.

Is this Michele’s new program to destroy the fast food industry so people will stop eating it?

What these idiots fail to understand is that they must produce at least $15 of revenue per hour worked just to pay their wage. To do this a business could fire half of them and make the remaining half work like dogs or raise prices so much the business would fail and they would lose their jobs not to mention their friends and relatives working in related businesses who as a result might lose theirs too.

This is pure street agitator economics... the man you work for has all kinds of money...it's just not in your pockets.
