Yes, I want to see democracy and labor triumphant. Since you want to protect the sovereignty of the state that is organizing the class war against workers, can I expect you to stop being so hypocritical as to pretend to be concerned about workers’ wages?
Unfortunately you are displaying the narrow vision that is permeating our populace these days. Workers' wages are an example of that. Those of you who want a higher federal minimum wage don't take the different parts of the country in consideration. Cost of living is very different in different parts. A federal minimum wage is ridiculous.

Another aspect of narrow vision is the fact that zeroing in on one factor such as wage doesn't allow for it being only one facet in a much bigger picture. As wages go up it will cause virtually everything else to increase also. A big enough jump can cause some serious inflation. That's a really serious problem for people on fixed incomes.

Another thing that gets mentioned pretty often is the fact that people cannot support their families on the low wages at places like Mickey D's. Those jobs are entry level to help young people learn to follow directions and develop work ethics. Most move on and up after that. The incentive is there.

When you focus on small individual pieces of a very big picture you cannot see that big picture.

Well you've disrespected millions of people who have served and and or died in uniform so that an ignorant piece of useless human garbage like yourself has the liberty to shoot their mouth off and advertise what a thankless 'tard you really are.
Those millions of people have disrespected me!

Those restaurants are open at hours when those young people are (or should be) in school, many fast food jobs require college degrees for applicants, and many of those working there are the main sources of income for their households ... a fast food restaurant can put a help wanted sign in the window and have people lined up around the block to apply for a single opening. Anyway, the pushes to raise the federal minimum wage are less than necessary to keep up with recent inflation and the wages proposed far too low to cause an appreciable increase in unemployment or inflation. It’s literally a matter of making it affordable for people to go back to work instead of being forced to live on the dole because their wages don’t even cover transportation and child care.
