    Fast-food workers are rallying, demanding a $15 hourly wage. Is it a realistic demand? http://on.wsj.com/1PNWe6O pic.twitter.com/qfunwb3Chd

        @WSJ there are far more technically trained workers who barely make $15/hr. I don't think this is an appropriate solution.

        @WSJ It's realistic if you cut the salaries of the top execs, who are overpaid at the expense of underpaying their employees & corp welfare.

        @WSJ No! Fast food employment was never meant to be a wage that could support a family. Hone your skills and push for better down the road.

        @WSJ depending on where, as CoL varies greatly over the country, no "one size fits all"...should be a decent liveable wage wherever they are

        @WSJ The job itself may not be worth much, but the person's time spent doing the job can never be replaced & should be worth a livable wage.

        @WSJ Fast food workers used to be high school and college kids jobs. It is not a career for adults. Not realistic for a fast food job.

        @WSJ In spite of raises on chart, workers feel still behind & probably farther than1998 b/c all prices inflate higher faster to pay raises

        @MJBJD @WSJ Mostly it's the rich getting the big pay raises & they're the ones raising the prices too. Because #trickledown = unrealistic.
