    Amazing that people with no skills can demand more compensation for their mindless work. Got to love the mindset of this country.

    You're pathetic and shameful for not pretending to care about fast food workers and high school teens.

    Yes, because inflation is real. A once livable wage is no long livable.

    It'd probably be a good thing, in a certain sense. It's sad and disgusting that the least nutritious, most unhealthy foodstuffs in this country are the most available, most heavily marketed, and the cheapest — especially considering how much waste is involved in the maelstrom of industrial processes that bring fast-food components from the origination point to one's mouth.

    Your mindset seems to me to be, largely, the "mindset of this country." And yes: it boggles the mind a bit.

    Aren't the $15/hr min wage advocates doing the same thing?

    Why should someone who works as a fast food cashier earn enough to raise a family? Maybe that person should have thought twice before conceiving considering they have a horrible job.

    If I want to make more money I have to work harder and get more technical expertise. Why should that be different from any other job?

    the first sentence of the first comment I saw after the article points out
    Paul Ryan makes $87 an hour.
    For getting everything wrong!
    $87 / per mudder phuggin hour

    And the man that works 40 hour weeks picking up his garbage and servng his hamburger makes $7.50 for that same hour. To only be vilified for being poor by the self righteous.

    Do you really want to compare the overall knowledge base and education the two of those workers have?

    Then how are people living on it, or is everyone who makes min wage dying?

    I just think it bears mentioning again that Paul Ryan, a big fan of Ayn Rand, has spent his entire career working in government.

    How do you handle the fact that if minimum wage suddenly doubled, lots of goods and services will go up in price to compensate the business owners. All of a sudden, minimum wage workers fall back below the poverty line. Some of you guys act like if labor prices rise, it will come out of the big bad greedy business owners' pocket and not be passed on to their customers.

    No, everything will stay the same but the workers salary. Lets forget that fast food restaurants will pass their additional expense to the consumer which will result in less sales which will result in less revenues which will result in reduction of work staff.
