Want a better job, get better pay? Go to school and get a degree in a field that pays.
We live in a capitalist world. McDonalds inc is not going to become a social welfare net.
McDonalds should pay a fair wage but not an absurd amount like 15-20. I think the 15$ an hour ploy by the guy in Kansas City is a bargaining chip. He is smarter than that to think he can get it at full 15 plus.

#12 sounds good to me but the problem is this really does nothing. After a year or so prices increase and that money is no longer giving them a better life. You could argue that it takes 2-3 years for food and goods prices to stabilize with the new income but really we should be doing other things to make poor peoples lives better.
I still say healthcare is the way to go. Free education or job training for the working poor would be great.
