Reply #294: Well ... Paying workers $1 an hour would solve that problem ... [View All]

Hey ! ... How abouts $0.50 an hour ? ... THAT will help the bottom line !


Look .... I don't want to slam you, but here is the point: The problem with the solvency of a restaurant is NOT the 'high pay' of their MINIMUM WAGE WORKERS !

It is the fact that TOO MANY of the possible group of paying patrons are making too little in wages to pay for a restaurant meal ...

The notion that restaurant workers should take a pay CUT so restaurants can make more profit is a HUGE part of the reason the economy is crumbling ... Its a result of the degenerate conservative economic philosophy that has already taken down the current system .... Your statement follows along those lines ....

The restaurant workers should NOT get paid less : EVERY OTHER WORKER should be paid more .... Then your buddies in the restaurant business can get back to counting their billions in the back room ....

The same argument was applied to those 'damned overpaid auto workers' ...

Well ? ... Auto workers can afford to buy cars ..... Its the rest of us who cannot buy them ...

Wanna end the recession ? .... RAISE wages .... Don't lower them ...
