US business climate in race to the bottom

What has been happening to our industries for decades has finally made it to the last one standing: fast food.

Fast food CEO: How govt regulation is driving us abroad

"Under the current U.S. business climate, regulatory and tax restrictions tend to curb otherwise dynamic entrepreneurial energy," Puzder said. "We'd love to see more growth in domestic markets. Unfortunately, it's easier for our franchisees to open a restaurant in Siberia than in California."

The burger flippers will be going out the way the auto assembly line workers and countless others did. Then what? Don't know about you but I'll be supporting the burger flippers by going to Carl's Jr and eating a few famous stars right away. :s0155:

Just wait until all the anti-2A and illegal crowd who flip burgers start making $15 an hour under Obongos entitlement redistribution scheme.....

I mean, minimum wage just isn't fair!

That's why I'm getting my burgers in now, while I can still afford it.

The salary schedule in this country is a sliding scale. A minimum wage increase prompts the Unions to ask for an increase to maintain their margin. That causes an increase in costs to consumers, inflation of our currency and higher unemployment. The increased cost of living brings wage increases to civil service employees and those on social security. Within five years, the minimum wage earner is right back in the same financial hole they were before. Increasing the minimum wage hurt the economy. If you don't see it, you don't understand the economics of the system.

How stupid are these jokers in Washington!!
