Democrat members of the U.S. Congress are urging McDonald’s Corp. (MCD) and other fast-food chains to raise wages for store workers.
“Too many hard-working families are being forced to depend on poverty-level wages,” 53 members of Congress wrote in a letter being mailed today to restaurant executives including McDonald’s Chief Executive Officer Don Thompson. “Paying fair wages and putting more spending money in the hands of consumers will strengthen our economy.”
The saddest part about that is they really are so stupid they believe it themselves,and will be shocked when they stop off at a Mickey D's to buy a burger and end up paying 12 bucks for it,with fries and the drink being extra.
And THESE people represent the brain trust that is running our country!
Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
Obviously, these dopes never ate at a mcdonalds. I have been eating at mcdonalds all my life. Kids used to work there..teenagers. The same type that worked at burger king, the supermarkets and walmart type discount stores. Malls used to hire kids. You very seldom saw a lot of adults working in mall stores. Now...its either adults, in all of the stores, and foreigners at all of the fast food places.
I feel sorry for those adults who have to use these places to support themselves, either because there are no other jobs, or because they arent trained for anything else. But, like you said in the above posts..if they raise their wages, up goes the meal prices, if those prices get any higher, people will find better places to eat, with the same amt of money.
