Minimum Wage Strikes

I had to walk through a line of three people shuffling outside a McDonald's last week.  They were holding homemade signs that demanded $10.00 an hour.  They called it a living wage.  Heck, make it $15.00 so they can live even better, right?  The irony of that is that thanks to obamacare- even if they were making $15.00 an hour, with the 29 hours they would be scheduled, they still couldn't live on it! 
 If obamacare  isn't repealed and defunded, burger flippers aren't the only ones who will be holding up signs.  Unfortunately, the signs will say 'Will work for Food' and we'll all be holding one.  Socializing over twenty percent of the economy is so stupid, even the Congress has voted themselves out of it.  Pity we don't get that option, huh?
Of course-two brave Senators-Cruz and Lee are threatening to filibuster the budget amendment.  Rubio is making some sort of me too, noise, but he is probably still massaging his colon after the pounding it took when he was used by McCain. The msm, in typical hubris is screaming that this is the law of the land!!! This is already settled and we won-neener neener.  I guess they have never heard of things being overturned.  The laws that Democrats put in place to keep minorities from voting were overturned, the laws that were in place to tax people to vote-also put in place by Democrats- were overturned. It happens, they may as well get used to the idea.
Of course, the old guard GOP is only too happy to go along with whatever they are told to do.  McConnell and company are only in the position they are because the Tea Party has saved them from political obscurity.  Like the Tories. Like the Whigs.
The old guard of the GOP-McCain for example- is only too happy to take the momentum that is offered by the Tea Party-but then expect us to sit in the back of the bus and know our place.
But all of that is off topic from the idiots who are asking,demanding, striking for the unrealistic wage of ten dollars per hour to flip burgers.
If your only skill set is working at a fast food place, maybe you should look into some sort of education for yourself.  The military offers excellent training for people, and they pay you.  How cool is that?
Minimum wage jobs are not meant to be a lifestyle.  They are meant to be a starter job.  Something that will give you skills to take with you to your next, hopefully better job.  Can you imagine the inflation if these clowns are actually successful?
We don't live in a vacuum, those ten dollar an hour jobs will create seven dollar hamburgers.  No more cheap fast food, it will be a dead thing of the past.  That in turn will cause the restaurants to fire people and it will be all George W. Bush's fault.
President Reagan said the best social program is a job.  When obamacare is repealed and replaced with something that will stop the depression we are in, it will be a much better world. Those old guard politicians (from both parties) better get used to the idea.  They'll thank me later.
