It began as a far-fetched political movement in 2009 — now the fight to increase the federal minimum wage is nearing a reality. Here's how we got to this point.
Well as a server getting 3 bucks an hour and 2 bucks as tip raising minimum wage would make it possible to eat a full meal every day. Oh wait is America when they talk about raising money poor clases don't apply.

This is why they laugh at us. We beg them instead of creating our own business structure to support ourselves. Understand what Martin Luther King integration did to us. Made us dependent on these idiots for all our needs.

Don't go to McDonald's much, but that ever happens and they raise the minimum wage I'll probably visit even less cause you know McDonald's is going to raise it's prices to compensate for these geniuses making our burgers.

Nope and working fast food should not be a career choice. How about get education or trade school training. What does suck is elderly and child care pay min wage and are high demanding and need certs and training to take care of the most important people but burgers slappers that are dumb as a brick demand more money. Thanks obooboo and dumbassacrats

Look at how much CEO’s are making for these companies, yes, they should make a good amount of $ , but not that much !! It’s a disgrace that they can’t spread the wealth. Greed is a terrible thing

Yet the skilled trades are desperately seeking people to fill thousands of great paying jobs! I worked at Wendy’s and dairy queen when I was 16-18 years old and made $4.25 and $5.50. I knew as a kid out of high school that if I wanted more, I’d have to go and earn it!
