Let’s get one thing straight. We live in America. A country built on free enterprise and capitalism. If you have a good idea and the the drive to see it through to completion.
Just because you make minimum wage doesn’t mean you HAVE to make minimum wage.
America wasn’t built on the backs of men and women who whined about not having enough until they got it.
McDonald’s is now participating in the minimum wage raise, but they’re doing something interesting to counter balance it. They’re actually laying people off, and replacing cashiers with full service kiosks!
It was built by men and women who demanded this life give them more than what it had originally allotted them, and they didn’t give up until they got it.
What this mass protest does show is that if enough people get together and yell and complain, they probably will have their demands met by a country that continues to cater to those who complain when they don’t get their way instead of actually finding something better.
What ever happened to making the most of yourself and working hard for something more than a job flipping burgers? I personally thank McDonald’s for replacing these people. Maybe now they will strive to do more with their life.
I read an article on TheBlaze a few weeks ago with the title, “Fast Food Workers: You Don’t Deserve $15 an Hour to Flip Burgers, and That’s OK”. this write is 100% right.
Here’s an important quote from the writer…
“You think the jobs I had when I was 16 should have provided me with the comfortable living I just established in my late 20s? Frankly, I think you’re delusional.To understand how delusional, consider that a $15 an hour full-time salary would put you in the same ballpark as biologists, auto mechanics, biochemists, teachers, geologists, roofers and bank tellers.”
This kind of wage hike for an entry level food job just adds fuel to the entitlement mentality that is increasingly rising in our nation.
