Some democrat congresscritters have apparently conflated McFood franchise owners with the federal government, apparently believing that if you own a McFood franchise, you can just print money, from Bloomberg
Democrat members of the U.S. Congress are urging McDonald’s Corp. and other fast-food chains to raise wages for store workers.
“Too many hard-working families are being forced to depend on poverty-level wages,” 53 members of Congress wrote in a letter being mailed today to restaurant executives including McDonald’s Chief Executive Officer Don Thompson. “Paying fair wages and putting more spending money in the hands of consumers will strengthen our economy.”
If sixteen dollars exist in the economy before a McFood worker is paid a McWage of say nine dollars per hour, there will be still be sixteen dollars in the economy after he is paid. Raising the McWage to fifteen dollars, will still leave the same sixteen dollars in the economy. Maybe the democrat congresscritters, just means that more money taken from those evil republicans and given to those saintly democrats?
