The Importance Of The Anti-Trump Movement In Midtown
The New York State Republican Committee’s annual gala in Midtown Thursday night, with all three Republican presidential candidates scheduled to speak, was to draw over 10,000 Trump protesters according to liberal anti-Trump forces.

At the height of the protest less than 200 or so people were involved in the rather weak rally. Our deep-cover sources within the anti-Trump movement say the protesters are demanding a $15.00 per hour minimum wage and union representation. Many protesters say they will refuse to protest unless they are paid a living wage.

The vast majority of Trump protesters are paid by Bernie Sanders supporters, MoveOn.org, Black Lives Matter and anti-Trump unions. We have emailed these groups asking if they plan to meet the

    Fast food workers at McDonald’s want their wage to be raised to fifteen dollars an hour. The workers go on strike and protest for these wages and McDonald’s is slowly giving into their preposterous task. President Barack Obama has signed laws to raise wages by 2020, him and seventeen other states have passed laws to raise the wage by that year too. The lowest minimum wages in the country right now are in Georgia and Wyoming at a whopping five dollars and fifteen cents an hour. Let us be honest, a fast food job is not a hard job at all, really the only thing difficult would have to be dealing with the occasional rude customer. Many other minimum wage jobs do not require much skill at all, it is not worth the fifteen dollars that they keep asking for. Many laboring jobs such as an electrician and plumbers make around thirteen dollars an hour including health benefits, with a job that is obviously much harder than flipping burgers to the extent that the two are not nearly comparable. Blue collar workers, such as plumbers, mechanics, or construction workers electricians, have to get down and dirty and do what others would not do to make thirteen an hour. Although, this does not apply to all plumbers and electricians because their wages start to increase. So why should a worker restocking shelves and scanning groceries deserve fifteen dollars an hour? Many workers who are for raising the wage are workers who have to support a family on a decently low…

Minimum wage is a large economic issue in our country for especially young people or people who are undereducated and did not go to college. Hillary plans on changing minimum wage and raising it to $12. I know a lot of people think raising the minimum wage also raises the prices of everything else, and it does, but for those who make minimum wage $12 is a huge step and it makes things more affordable.…

    There has been a lot of discussion regarding the increase of minimum wage across the nation. Currently, the wage is set at a low amount of $7.25 an hour. In today’s society it is almost impossible to live on only an income of $7.25 an hour especially for those who are raising a family. In President Obama’s 2013 State of the Union Address, the president proposed to raise the minimum wage to 9 dollars by the year 2015 (Luhby). A higher minimum wage would help people living in poverty by providing better means of financial stability, and it would also improve the chances of those people trying to escape poverty stricken living conditions. Another bonus to increasing the minimum wage is that it could potentially…
