The same group that turned a Martin Luther King Jr. Day march into a protest for a $15 an hour minimum wage was at it again today in Seattle, Wash., calling for a one-day citywide boycott of McDonald’s, Wendy’s and Burger King.
Are you gonna make a sandwich on Feb 20th? http://t.co/FsR4F45vmx Boycott #McPoverty and show your support for #15forSeattle!

Council member Kshama Sawant, who describes herself as a proud socialist, again marched with the protesters.

Simple math. You can contribute a whole lot more to the economy at $15 an hour than you can at $9.32. #McPoverty #justsaying

Not even President Obama is suggesting a $15 an hour minimum wage, and it wasn’t all solidarity under the #McPoverty hashtag either.

Wait I thought #McPoverty was a joke. These people seriously expect 15/hr when they can be replaced by robots?

I don't get it, that high school fast-food job was never intended to be a life long career paying for your house & family… #mcpoverty

#McPoverty is a joke. You want $15/hr for flipping burgers? Truly hilarious.
