WAHHHHH!!!! RAISE THE MINIMUM WAGE !!!!!

Over at the Liberator Today, B-Daddy turns our eyes to today's fast food strike across the nation - yes, the same strike that lovely SEIU no doubt trucked in a few hundred paid goons to picket and protest at while the media laps up the moment in typical government-media complex fashion as the idiots parrot sad sob stories about how Maria, at 22 has three children and can "barely make it" working at McDonald's. No kidding.

My "solution?"

Don't stop at $15/hour; raise the minimum wage to $45 and see what happens.

What, that's too high, you say?

Why?

The simple economic truth is that the same unintended consequences occur if and when the Feral government raises the minimum wage to $15 as they would if they raised it to $45... just on a less extreme scale. Fast food employees in need of valuable life and work lessons will be deprived of just that as firms cut back on employees and adjust by automating tasks typically filled by workers today.

Anyway, isn't fast food entry-level work? Isn't that kind of job not a career but a job that a young person scores to make ends meet as they taste freedom away from the parents for the first time or to pay bills while slugging through college?

I truly cannot believe the mentality of people in America any more. What happened to true grit?

Want a decent job? Learn a trade or go to school - become passionate, highly skilled and irreplaceable at something that commands a decent price in the marketplace. Don't have children before you are married or too young either for that matter. Get your ducks in a row before you make big life decisions. Pull yourself up by your own bootstraps. Even in today's declining America it's possible - for anyone.

And get the government out of everything - they do nothing less than distort, dispirit and destroy every single thing they touch; the "minimum wage" included.
