Paying a guy $15 an hour to take your order at McDonald's? Dumb.

And as I said...just take a look at Washington D.C. to see how well a high minimum wage does. Lots of poverty there (except of course for the politicians and bureaucrats living it up off the taxpayer).

Also keep in mind all the people who have worked hard for years and years to rise up to a $15 an hour wage...now all their work was for nothing.

I also read that union job wages are based on a percentage of what the minimum wage is.

So if union workers are guaranteed to make say 400% of what minimum wage is...Then costs are going through the roof on EVERYTHING.

I'll say it one more time: Just look at Washington D.C.
It's already been done there. Check out the cost of living and the poverty rates.

That's all you need to do to see the results.
