Interesting comparison/commentary.......
Subject: Burgers & Minimum Wage
This is probably the BEST written essay regarding minimum wage that I have ever seen.
Kudos to the originator of this excellent piece.
BURGERS...w military pay was not mentioned in The State Of The Union speech. Just increasing the minimum wage was. Burgers or Minimum Wage.
For those fast food employees striking for $15 an hour, let's do some math At $15 an hour Johnny Fry-Boy would make $31,200 annually. An E1 (Private) in the military makes $18,378. An E5 (Sergeant) with 8 years of service only makes $35,067 annually. So you're telling me, LaTisha McBurgerflipper, that you deserve as much as those kids getting shot at, deploying for months in hostile environments, and putting their collective asses on the line every day protecting you.
Here's the deal, Baconator, you are working in a job designed for a kid in high school who is learning how to work and earning enough for gas, and hanging out with their high school pals. If you have chosen this as your life long profession, you have failed. If you don't want minimum wage, don't have minimum skills.
If you can read this, thank a teacher.
If it's in English, thank a Veteran.
