Annoy a liberal today. Hit them with facts.
To those that support this ,what will happen if you loose your job and your savings dries up?
If every fast food place had to raise their wages to $15 an hour, how would their be layoffs?

People will still go out and eat.

And it effects their competitors as well.

So again, why would anyone get layed off?

Maybe you should read some more and get back to us when you do.

A full study of this issue should only take a year or two for you to complete.

Then come back and report what you found out.

Automation.

Dave,

The automation argument is a weak one. Its always the first excuse layed out by the parrots of the "dont raise the minimum wage" crowd, but automation is coming no matter what. The corporations have been looking into automation for over 5 years now in the fast food industry, just as the supermarkets and big box stores incorporated automation years ago.

Raising the wages isnt even a factor towards automation.

Since the early 70's, automation crept into our auto industry, then our factories, then the office with computers, then the box stores and now fast food. There is no stopping it. Even if wages were left alone, the industry would STILL bring automation into the food establishments.

However, keep one thing in mind.

If the CEO can make tens of millions of dollars a year for doing practically nothing, then the employees should also be able to make a better wage. There is no reason the average CEO should make 4 to 5 thousand times the pay of an employee. This is a ridiculous metric.

And before ANYONE decides to chime in with "look at McDonalds".. they are going to self service pay machines... please stop and dont make yourself look foolish.

What McDonalds is going to do, is introduce TABLE SERVICE along side its automation service.

Customers will walk in, order on a machine, pay with debit cards and then seat themselves. EMPLOYEES will then bring the food to TABLES like waitresses.

NOBODY will be layed off.

Only the roles will be changing.

Just because people can order food on a machine, that doesnt mean they can bag it, or put it on a tray. EMPLOYEES still have to perform these duties.

The mis information crowd would like to leave out the table service out of the argument cause its defeats the claim of layoffs.

McDonalds has had this plan for years waiting to be launched when technology caught up.

Raising the minimum wage in the face of CEO's making tens of millions of dollars is only the RIGHT THING TO DO.

The first accomplishment of California’s pioneering $15 minimum wage law is killing the revival of America’s clothing industry.
American Apparel, which provided 10 percent of all apparel manufacturing jobs in Los Angeles, has terminated 500 employees in the last two weeks. Chief Executive Paula Schneider also told the Los Angeles Times that “manufacturing of more complicated pieces, such as jeans, could soon be outsourced to a third-party company.”
Apparel-making got cut in half over the next decade, as Chinese and Asian imports coming through Los Angeles ports sky-rocketed to $46 billion. The number of local apparel-making sites fell to 2,200 and local industry jobs shriveled to 46,000.

But according to the California Fashion Association, Los Angeles apparel-making was back to growth by 2013 as a “steady inflation rate” in China, driven by higher labor costs, increasingly pushed apparel manufacturing and textile contractors to move to lower wage countries like Vietnam, Cambodia, and Bangladesh. Coupled with high sea, land, and air shipping costs, the advantage in outsourcing apparel-making versus U.S. manufacturing became much less attractive.
Last year in Los Angeles County, there were 62,774 workers in apparel-making and 10,887 workers in textile manufacturing. Although imports were still substantial, local companies booked revenues of over $18 billion and paid workers $6.4 billion. Average rate of pay for fashion designers was $35-per-hour, and the average pay for apparel and textile workers hit $15-per-hour.

By capturing 36 percent of all U.S. apparel manufacturing, the Los Angeles County fashion ethosphere also supported 3,770 fashion designers, 5,590 cosmetics workers, 6,985 jewelry workers and 5,904 footwear workers.

It's says the average pay for a textile worker was $15 an hour. That was before the minimum was raised.

Drag in some more people why don't ya?
Just state your opinion, we already know you think everybody is old and stupid & uninformed ('cept you).""

I dont have to drag, youre already leading the way.

We have a date come november. Just like 2008 and 2012.

Better hope they are running reruns of "that 70's show" since the election will repeat itself in 2016 and you turn off coverage at 7pm like you did in 2012.

And old is just old. The geriatric audience of FOX news is the most gulible people in this country.

The power of suggestion to an old person by fox news can walk a thousand miles to nowhere.

And nobody knows this better than you.
