Oh, I need help again...anybody got anything on paying Fast Food workers a living wage?

[LaydeeBug]

Since they got the red ass yesterday, they are chomping at the bit.

To wit:

Rightie's FB status: My new minimum standard of living wage is $200 per hour. These people are crazy wanting $15 an hour for fast food service. This is what happens when the tail wags the dog. Inflation is sure to follow. $30 burgers that no one can afford, everyone else demands more money to compensate and then the $ is worth about .10 cents. Great Plan!!! Lets try bettering ourselves out of entry level jobs. Just a thought.

Laydeebug: except that they are already paying a living wage in other countries and that ALREADY didn't happen...but spite is spiteful.

Rightie: Note. Other socialist countries. Why would we ever want to be like "other" countries? If you like the way they are please stop by the closest Post Office and get the paper work started for your work Visa and passport.

Laydeebug: Righty...WHAT socialist countries? Really. You just posted, "other socialist countries". How many socialist countries do you think there are? Honestly. Do you think AUSTRALIA is socialist? So I guess I could just say the same to you...if you don't like it...you are just as free to go.

4. This is great. Thank you for it!

I can't understand bow these people bitch about a living wage, and then bitch about subsidizing people who don't make one.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

2. Ask him whether he thinks the US was a socialist country during the Cold War.

Because by his definition, we were.

And if so, obviously he doesn't believe it was capitalism that defeated communism.

(if you want to see where this line of argument is going, see my sig line)

5. On FB, "the other 98%" has a LOT if anyone else encounters this. nt
