Minimum Wage: Fast-food workers engage in a nationwide "Fight for 15" while ignoring the economic reality of higher prices, fewer jobs and the sawing off of that first rung on the economic ladder of success.
In a scene repeated in various cities across the country last Thursday, roughly 50 people were arrested as they protested in front of two Chicago-area fast-food restaurants as part of the push for a $15-per-hour minimum wage for fast-food workers, what they call a "living wage." These protests, organized by the infamous purple shirts of the Service Employees International Union, simply ignore economic reality.
It is a testimony to the economic ignorance taught in our nation's schools, supplemented by mass media misinformation, that these protesters believe that wages come from business owners' private stashes and not from the revenues from customers who buy that business' goods and services. Basic economic principles have been supplanted by demands for social justice.

In the era of Obama, most Americans are ignoring reality in one way or another.

If there’s nothing left over for the owner, then why should he keep his money there?
With the price of capital these days, it isn’t that hard to justify replacing a $15/hr job.

The $15 an hour crowd obviously doesn’t watch Restaurant Impossible and Kitchen Nightmares.
Mr. $15/hr meet the kiosk.

Why can’t conservative groups cut a humorous ad mocking these protests?

At which point they see the restaurant close for a drive up kiosk run by robots to deliver food like a pull-up vending machine.
Give them the raise. The working poor are among the hardest working people in America. And the work many of them do is vital to keeping our businesses and homes and hospitals functioning. They deserve decent pay.
It won’t spit on your food either.
It isn't "give these hard-working folks a raise."
It's "Force employers to raise entry-level salaries to a point that will eliminate huge numbers of jobs."
