Barbara Lee, Democrat from California,
wants to raise the minimum wage to $26 an hour in her state. That means that teenagers working at McDonald's would have to be paid $54,080 a year, assuming they worked full time. How much would a Big Mac cost under that scenario? Well let's see.
There you have it, folks. Barbara Lee, Democrat, wants you to pay $12.73 for a Big Mac. Throw in a an order of fries and a coke, and lunch will cost you $25.12, where it would only cost $7.87 today.
Barbara Lee, of course, has no clue as to how the economy works, and I am sure that "Math" is a foreign language to her, "cause and effect" an incomprehensible concept. A $26 minimum wage would cause all fast food eateries to close their doors (no customers, no revenue, no profit) and massive unemployment.
