@mmfa so typical of a Repubthug that it doesn't merit an answer; as the rich get richer they crush the poor.

Seriously. Victim? If anything these people are victims of a progressive ideology that separates merit from reward.
@EWErickson why not make minimum wage $200 an hour and everyone can be rich.

Yeah and make it illegal not to hire people who need a job. Problem solved!
Instead of telling fast food workers to strike, tell them they deserve more than working fast food. Empower them to succeed.#StrikeFastFood

@PolitiBunny I think their goal is to work fast food.

@Nopoints4second No one's goal in life is to flip burgers… it was meant as a stepping stone, not a career.

No one’s goal in life should be to flip burgers. There are plenty whose goal is to get paid more without doing anything different, and there’s no charity in letting them think that will work out well for them.
