Worker fired over protest

Why is this even an issue? These people have a right to organize to negotiate for their fair share of the economic pie they help to produce. Conversely, employers have a right to charge/pay what the market will bear. Which obviously isn't much for fast food workers.

SF is only half right when he says that these people should consider improving their skill sets and thus their marketability. In order to do that though there has to be the level of public investment in public education so that working class people can learn new and marketable skills that do pay living wages. Which currently is sorely lacking.

In some respects I understand these low wage workers frustration. But these strikes are merely addressing the symptom of their problem and not the root cause of their problem.

Bolded is pure nonsense.

In 2009, the United States spent $11,831 per full-time-equivalent (FTE) student on elementary and secondary education, an amount 38 percent higher than the OECD average of $8,595. At the postsecondary level, U.S. expenditures per FTE student were $29,201, more than twice as high as the OECD average of $13,461.

Personally I think we do waste a lot on administration, but to pretend we are not spending enough on education is ALWAYS the cry from those on the left who want to use the funding as an EXCUSE for poor performance.

You think we live in a fascist state in which we are all subjects and slaves of our employers. You're a traitor to your country, loyal to coporations rather than your fellow Americans.

Wrong again dimwit; I think morons like you really are as stupid as you look and don't realize that your ideology requires a form of Fascism and repression.

If you think being loyal to Government is worse than being loyal to capitalism, your circle of ignorance is complete, you're a moron. the irony for dimwitted like you is that Government can only be good when your "deciders" are in charge.

Oh my; the tired overused meme that the problem is education funding.

I am amazed how brain dead leftists believe that the plight of losers is a lack of funds. Tell me something; how does more money for schools stop a young person, perhaps from a broken family and who doesn't know their father, from dropping out?

No. He's completely right about you. You're an anti-American traitor fascist.

Has anyone else noticed that this troll never backs up his claim with fact? Just insults.

Has anyone else notice that this troll is a moron who seldom adds anything to a debate and spams threads with his stupid nonsense.

Howey, you must be new here or that painfully stupid; but I can always back up what I claim with facts; but not when I am responding to repugnant assholes like you who spam threads with brain dead nonsense.

I know, dimwits like you think that statements like this: QUOTE=Prince of Destruction: We need a revolution, to sweep away the creeping decadence and selifshness that is rotting our society from it's core. Decadence's name is "conservatism"! …are efforts at honest debate.

Yes Howey, you really are THAT stupid and THAT repugnant.

But your selective outrage has been noted. Now run along dimwit and stop trying to remove any doubt you’re a brain dead leftist fool.

Dear dimwit; did you come here to troll and spam yet another thread with your ignorance so that you can ensure everyone has bo doubt what a moron you are?
 
Truth Detector said:
If you weren't such an ignorant, thread trolling, gated trailer park, grade school dropout redneck, you wouldn't make such stupid claims.

But alas, you're a dimwit determined to remove all doubt what a moron you really are; yay you!

Does your mommy give you a shiny new penny every time you use the word "dimwit"?

I can't see the dimwit's posts; I have that repugnant moron on perma ignore. Even Evince is slightly more tolerable. ;)

I am amused that dimwits like her think I need a reward for correctly identifying their mindset.

It is ironic that dimwitted leftists never seem annoyed when leftist asshats spew caustic insults at Conservatives; selective outrage or hypocrites?

How very narrow minded of you. Who's going to do this kind of work if everyone making minimum wage or anyone working at McDonald's doesn't progress to what you consider a real job has to take them out back and shot?

Who's going to do this kind of work? How about the pimply faced 16 year old with braces saving up for some rusted out POS car? Better than some 35 year old single mother with 3 kids making a career out of the golden arches.

You misunderstood my post. Read the next one.

Howey said:
That's not what he said. He said that those who don't progress should be taken out back and shot. Now what were you saying about reading comprehension?

Now, a few more points.

Not everyone has the mental capacity, drive, or desire to progress beyond a certain point in the career ladder. Many, many more are content while flipping burgers to expand creative ventures. How many famous artists and veritable geniuses have lived a life of poverty?

This is the problem with conservatives. You have such narrow minds you don't realize that not everyone lives by your ideal.

I hope you comprehended that.

By all means, McDonalds should continue to employ this fellow who thinks he deserves more pay. He will have an eager and cooperative attitude that will permeate the entire crew.
