Finally someone is right about minimum wage

How much would you like to make per hour?
There is always a way to get there, but most aren't wiling to put in the effort or make the necessary sacrifices to get there.

That $50 per hour figure in the first post is quite attainable without a college degree. Learn how to weld, get a plumbing or electrical license, run heavy equipment, learn the skills of a mechanic, tool maker, etc.
Plus you have to be drug free and reliable.

Just a few examples above, but the workforce and employers are begging for skilled people to fill these and many other positions and will gladly train you on the job and pay that kind of money.
You can't get there as a burger flipper. You and nobody else wants to pay $25 for a Big Mac.

i dont work much so i dont care. but berger people should get paid alot more. if they did they could afford a good house and pay the doctors that they go see

Maybe these people begging for skilled people should pay up. Interesting how that works!

Also, your math isn't mathing. Minimum wage here is $16.24/hr and a Big Mac costs $5.89.

i still think the minimum should be tied to inflation

I think so also. It is a reasonable thing to do.

Well, there is your solution. Open your own burger joint and pay your employees 100k per year. Problem solved.

You still have not answered my question.

If the entire staff of McDonald's is being paid $100/hr, how much would you expect a hamburger cost?

i dont work much so i dont care.

I'm very curious about the source of your wealth. You've posted a lot but haven't told us anything about yourself. How old are you? How did you come to be so well off that you can not work much but still be able to throw away $23,000 betting on the football playoffs (and you definitely gave the impression that doing so isn't a new thing for you)? Where does your money come from?
