I WANT FAST FOOD WORKERS TO MAKE $15 AN HOUR:

Obviously (or rather, it should be obvious) minimum wage hikes bring a bevy of economically catastrophic consequences. Just as obviously (or rather, it should be just as obvious) adherence to free market principles creates enough wealth for fast food workers to legitimately make more money. I want low-income workers to make $15 an hour—and more, for that matter. This is why I support the free market and why I’m opposed to artificially raising wages. Maybe more low-income workers would begin listening to conservatives if conservatives stopped telling them that they don’t “deserve” $15 an hour. Maybe more low-income workers would embrace economic principles that will actually help them if more conservatives would stop demonstrating a tone-deaf moralism in relation to the wages of low-income workers. As conservatives, we hold to an economic theory that allows for all to benefit from the growing wealth. That’s what conservatives should be compassionately preaching instead of lecturing fast food workers about how they’re not worth a certain amount of money.
