Like what?
15/hr equals 31,000 a year
What desk job that pays 31k a year is "intellectually demanding"?
Why are Y'all against fastfood workers making $15/HR???

What desk job that pays 31k a year is "intellectually demanding"?
it's a job a simpleton ass high schooler can do and be made manager of doing as has been proven time and time
if they want $15 buck then they need to make themselves irreplacable, which they cant because there are kids who will gladly take that 8-9 dollars an hour just to have some paper in the pocket
So then all those "mom and pop" workers are going to jump ship to work at Mickey D's, in turn either causing the places to up their wages and hurt their product or close up shop. And then there goes all the small minority businesses that y'all champion for us to support.
Not to mention if someone is holding down two jobs at like $15 an hour, even part time on both, you're coming up WAY ahead compared to current. I just can't help but think that the standard of living would go up based on this, rent mostly.
Well why is the average age of the workforce 29 years old?
You do realize that car manufactures that pay the same type of person that would work at MCDs 20+ dollars/hr... To screw in backseats
The one reason they are not getting laid minimum wage is because of Unions
Another question,
How does these workers getting paid more affect your life?
Why would you be against someone making more money?

I love it when nikkas turn republican.
I've always said if somebody really wanted to fukk up America, they should start with Fast food. McDonalds feeds 46,000,000 people a day just imagine if Al Qaeda could find a way to infiltrate that shyt.
I've worked at a Burger King that shyt sucks. easily the worst job I had. Pay them folks.
It doesn't even have to be 15. it could be 12 /hr

After thinking about this, I don't think they should get paid any higher than what they make now.
The government has to find a way to create more jobs for people, or start formulating ways to fill the voids of the open jobs no with educational reform.
McDonalds is supposed to be for high school aged students, newly arrived immigrants, "rehabbed" criminals, and old people just looking to get out the house and do something.
It should not be a place that adults are settling for when all else has failed.
That's not helping the economy, but actually crippling it by encouraging low skill development through an adult population. In order to keep up with the forces in the global economy, we need more highly educated people with degrees/skills they can use, not people watching fries.
The problem with McDonald's wages is that adults are living on it now, which wasn't the case more than 15 years ago. Most high school students would love to make +$7.00/hr.
The problem isn't McDonald's following minimum wage laws. The problem is our government is too lazy/uncreative to make meaningful jobs elsewhere.

I consider myself socially and politically liberal...up to a point.
Lets be completely honest here. We're talking about value and scarcity.
Working at McD's means you're EASILY replaceable. You're not a commodity. You working that desk job makes you less replaceable. Sure some other people with similar credentials can do your job, but that talent pool is much smaller. Then you talk about re-training, education, etc. Thats all an investment in your ability to provide value to consumers in your specific market.
I'm not even sure the govt is supposed to create jobs like that, only have reform to encourage entrepreneurship.
Even still, the govt DOES need more things in terms of public works and infrastructure jobs similar to the New Deal. That would be incredible. I'm not sure we need more paper pushers though.
So the government should continue to allow companies to pay people below what they consider to be the poverty level in this country?
So people should go to work everyday, make a honest living and get paid an amount of money that would (according to the government) categorize them as living in poverty.

another thing. I got a feeling if mcdonald's ups the wage to $15 hr, you're gonna see college grads and higher skilled people and what not applying for these jobs thus taking them from the non-skilled folks who were bytching about their shytty wages in the first place leaving them in a worse situation than they are now.
