Look no further than Europe to see the same franchises fully staffed, paying better wages and charging marginally different prices. America gonna do the American thing at first. They’ll get with the program eventually.

Look at Europe where the workers from all socioeconomic status pay their fair share of the Taxes.

I agree, the rich should pay their fair share of taxes!

They do. They pay more than their fair share of the taxes. It’s not time for everyone else to chip in and pay their fair share.
In Europe, those McDonald’s worker would be paying about half their income in taxes. They should do the same here.

Why should the poor pay half their paychecks to taxes while the rich pay less than 40%, if they actually pay any taxes at all rather than utilize tax loopholes to avoid paying.
