    Is there any place in the economy for low wage jobs? Or do some of you believe they simply shouldn't exist at all?
    Power always thinks it has a great soul, and vast views, beyond the comprehension of the weak. And that it is doing God service when it is violating all His laws.

    The far left wants a guaranteed 20 bucks an hour whether they work or not. And they want you, the Taxpayer to give it to them.

    Oct 21 (Reuters) - McDonald's Corp reported a 30 percent fall in quarterly profit due to a food scandal in China and tough competition in the United States, and the world's largest restaurant chain said these factors were expected to hurt current-quarter results.

    The company's shares fell 2 percent in premarket trading after it also said it expected a fall in same-restaurant sales for October.

    McDonald's U.S. and global comparable sales fell by a steeper-than-expected 3.3 percent in the third quarter.

    The company has been struggling in the U.S. market, where the fast food it helped pioneer is falling out of favor, with customers choosing healthier options available at chains such as Chipotle Mexican Grill.

    I don't see why you are gloating over the losses suffered by American businesses who employ Americans. Maybe you want everyone to be unemployed and dependent on welfare.

    We can just outlaw all jobs that don't require an advanced degree and pay at least $100,000 per year.
