Let me say this, how much skill does it require to flip burgers, and make fries? Most of us worked a minimum wage job in high school and college. These jobs were seen as stepping stones to a better position. Some people make a career out of fast-food, and I'm not knocking them. I do believe the minimum wage should be raised to $9.50 an hour, $10 at the most; but raising the minimum wage to $15 is out of the question. Does anyone think the minimum wage is going to double to $15 an hour? I doubt that. You're talking $31,200 a year, which is more than what some people with college degrees make.
