Around the country today, hard working Americans are using their voice to impact the law of the land. Kudos to them, demonstrations like today’s are what makes America great. Unfortunately, national labor unions are using these demonstrations to further their cause under the auspice of making things better for all American. But that’s not true. If minimum wage jumped to the proposed $15 – the cost of a cheeseburger at McDonald’s would jump to $3. That might not seem like much, but that is 3x increase for one of the cheapest meal choices in America, extrapolate that out to everything else and you have $30 pizzas, $10-$15 a gal for milk, etc. What a world that would be.
