Socialists Invade McDonald’s, Fail To Bring Down Capitalism (VIDEO)

by Austin Petersen

Whoever is behind the Laughing at Liberals Youtube page is quickly becoming one of my favorite people. A recent upload from a May Day protest by socialist democrats shows the economically illiterate liberals invading a McDonald’s holding signs that read “stop deportations” and demanding a $15 an hour minimum wage.

Perhaps someone forgot to inform the protestors that McDonald’s is a franchise style establishment? The owners are generally small businessmen and women. But even if they were confronted with those facts, do you think it would make a difference? These are a group of people whose sole interest is to defy the laws of supply and demand in favor of some vague form of “social justice.”
