How much is a ****ing Royale With Cheese in your precious Denmark?

Are you ready to pay $8 for a shitburger, DUmbass? Because that is what would happen- and your burger flipper would be in the same place he is now.

What the meme leaves out is the fact he's one of probably 5 human employees in the store.  Everything else is taken care of at an electronic ordering Kiosk.

The only economics libs understand is Keynesian.
And the only reason libs understand Keynesian economics is because someone told them Keynesian economics delivers free stuff to everyone.

Of course after all the taxes are taken out, the poor schlub in Denmark is left with less cash in hand than the US worker.

Also, the US worker will probably pay a net sum of zero in federal taxes after getting their refund.

High five for that!

Denmark Does Not Have A $20 Minimum Wage, Try $11.70 Instead

http://www.forbes.com/sites/timworstall/2015/08/12/denmark-does-not-have-a-20-minimum-wage-try-11-70-instead/#2715e4857a0b3bf0671f7fbd

Just some of the selective dishonesty:

From the article:
Quote
At one site we see that this is taken to mean that the minimum wage is $20 an hour.

The average minimum wage for all private and public sector collective bargaining agreements is approximately DKK 110 ($20) per hour, exclusive of pension benefits. The Danish “minimum wage” of $20 or $21 is actually an average of all minimum wages across a variety of sectors.

They’re clearly using some rather strange exchange rate as 110 DK is $16.35 at today’s rate. Still impressive as compared to the US.

...and the effective tax rate is something like 60% plus.

And, I believe (although I may be wrong), they have a VAT. That $20 per hour turns into less than the guy/girl making $9 per hour here.

I think all of Europe and the Scandis do.

I'd like to see their tax structure too, bet their poverty level is wildly different

Never seen a Burger King worker in a ****ing tie, DUmbasses. Let me guess, you found a pic of a black guy in a tie, assumed he wasn't a stockbroker, or I.T. salesman, insurance salesman, etc., and automatically assumed he was too stupid to do anything other than flip burgers.

Racist ****s.

Good point. The white guy is obviously in a fast food place, the black guy is on a bus or a train.

My takeaway from this is a little different.

I see THIS meme:

"See?  You should be able to be an uneducated schlub and schlepp through your meaningless life contributing nothing, learning nothing and being nothing."

Managers used to wear ties. Dunno about now.

That pic looks like a bus or metro rail car.  Ain't nothing in that pic that even remotely resembles a restaurant.

Not to mention the "watch your step" scrolled up the poles.

I am having a strong sense that the consensus reaction to this lib meme is that libs lie, and libs lie all the time.
I would attribute that sentiment and thought to nadin's cousin...coach franksolich !
