Minimum Wage???
Apr 4, 2016 12:49:44 #
Just one more reason the minimum wage argument doesn't pass muster for me. Too bad obama and his lackeys who support the $15 minumum wage for fast food workers aren't as energized to support raising wages for the lower enlisted ranks of our armed forces. Just saying...

apples to oranges
The marine will also receive 30 days vacation/year, maternity and paternity leave, free healthcare and a $200,000 ride through college.

Apples to oranges? Hmmmmm. Do burger-flippers get sent all around the globe, separated from family, and/or risking their lives to defend their country? Green is a bad joke.

Actually comparing wages to wages is exactly that. It's the complete cost/benefits package that you need to compare.
No one believes that a McDonald Worker is worth more than a Marine but to figure the true benefits of the armed services you really need to add in all the benefits, such as Housing Allowance, Healthcare, College Education and a bunch of other things that cost lots of money.
This mime just tries to appeal to someone's alleged patriotism but in fact has no foundation.

Let me assure you Frank there is no "alleged" patriotism on my part. You perhaps but not me. I might give some credibility to your argument if the mime made an issue out of comparing the complete cost/benefits package of fast food workers to that of the military but it did not.

You don't make any sense. Your meme ONLY compares wages and ignores and much more significant package of benefits that marines get which is worth MUCH MORE than $11/per hour. It is therefore misleading and and deceptive.

Don't try to make this out to be more than it is. If the meme made an issue out of comparing the complete cost/benefits package of fast food workers to that of the military (or Marines in this case) you might have a plausible argument. It didn't.

Green has a legitimate point.

You err.
What is a laugh is trying to compare the two jobs.
Entirely different animals, for entirely different pay.
The point about additional benefits in the military is valid.

And therefore why the argument for a $15 minimum wage for fast food workers is a joke.

Then why don't you call for a pay increase for marines if you think they are underpaid rather than try to keep other people down? :wink:
