Big MAC: The Case To Raise The Minimum Wage

1. Truer words were never spoken...

The GOP always trots out the same old song EVERY time we want to raise the minimum wage. It wasn't true the first time and it isn't true this time.

2. Case for raising the minimum wage

McDonald's raise the minimum wage!!! It is a proven fact that raising employees' minimum wage, McDonald's will make a huge profit .

4. I disagree in part

I don’t think it will improve their profits, but it will have minimal negative financial effect
AND IT’S THE RIGHT THING TO DO.

While McDonald's came out with that stupid budget website, don’t forget they are just one of many companies. They are getting more than their share of criticism because they’re easily identifiable.
For the most part, McDonald's is usually a savvy company and I would predict that they will get ahead of this and garner some positive publicity.

5. I saw somewhere

That increasing the price of a Big Mac by 22 cents would enable a doubling of the wage to over $15 an hour. Therefore meaning on first looks out of $4.60 22 cents is the wage component ....seems too little doesn't it.....all those tools out there that advocate abolishing the minimum wage to encourage employment should get their heads read.
